Estimated by help of coho study. In this question, attributable risk can be calculated as follows: Assuming that incidence among unexposed women is x, then incidence among exposed women should be 5x. Therefore, 5x-x = 4/5= 80%. x Ref : Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine; 18th edition; Page-69
