Did we solve your problem today?

Absolute risk is the simple probability of an event in a group.

The math behind it

risk = events ÷ total. Converting to odds: odds = p ÷ (1 − p).

25 events in 500 → 5% risk (odds 0.0526:1).

Risk vs odds?

Risk is out of the whole; odds compare events to non-events.
