When there are multiple possible factors that may influence disease risk the first approach is to perform simple estimates of AR for each factor one at a time. These are called unadjusted or crude or screening associations. More advanced analyses may involve considering multiple factors at once (multivariable analyses) in order to adjust for interaction or confounding between different factors. These methods are beyond the scope of these notes and require advanced statistical expertise and special software.
