The ratio of the incidence rate or the mortality rate from the disease of interest (i.e. lung cancer) in an exposed population to that in an unexposed population.

=== from [[ICRP Publication 118]], 2012 ===

An expression of risk relative to the underlying baseline risk. If the total risk is twice the underlying baseline risk, the relative risk is 2.

=== from [[ICRP Publication 115]], 2010 ===
