In epidemiological research, it is common to investigate the interaction between risk factors for an outcome such as a disease and hence to estimate the risk associated with being exposed for either or both of two risk factors under investigation. Interactions can be estimated both on the additive and multiplicative scale using the same regression model. We here present a review for calculating interaction and estimating the risk and confidence interval of two exposures using a single regression model and the relationship between measures, particularly the standard error for the combined exposure risk group.
