Animal-based measurements
What is the indirect measurement of animals’ welfare?

What is One Health a balance between?
Human health
Animal health

What is how many times more likely it is that an outcome will occur in the exposed group compared to the unexposed group
Relative Risk
What do you need to calculate Relative risk?
Incidence and prevalence
What type of studies do you need for relative risk to be calculated?
Cohort studies
Clinical trials
What are all existing cases in the population at risk?
Prevalence (all cases)
What is the rate of new cases in the population at risk over a specific period of time?
Incidence (new cases)
What does it mean if there is an RR of 2.04
There is 2.04 greater risk of disease in those reported to have been impacted than those who were not
Does RR have units?
No
What are the odds that an outcome will occur given a particular exposure, compared to the odds of the outcome occurring in the absence of that exposure?
Odds ratio
What is needed for OR to be calculated?
Not incidence or population data
What studies is OR calculated with?
Case control
Logistic regression
Cohort
How are RR and OR different?
When incidence/prevalence are greater than 10% then OR will be much higher than RR
What is maintaining the Earth’s environmental quality, functionality, and services to meet the human needs of today without compromising the needs of future generations?
Sustainability
What are the 3 legs to the stool + the seat?
