Dear Coleagues ,
As my friend John  mentined,* the measure of association from a logistic
regression is the odds ratio, not the relative risk*. but the point is in
follow-up studies, it is commonly preferred to estimate a risk ratio rather
than an odds ratio. Thats why im looking for RR in logistic models.
Bytheway thank you all for ur consideration.
Amin
