Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Odds ratios and relative risks are both measures of association between variables, indicating the strength of the relationship between exposure and outcome. However, they cannot prove causation, as other factors may be responsible for the observed association. Prevalence refers to the proportion of a population with a particular condition, and statistical significance is a measure of the likelihood that an observed association is due to chance.
