Risk assessments based on epidemiologic studies are becoming increasingly common in evaluating environmental health risks and setting health standards. This article will discuss and compare some of the available methods for exposure–response modeling and risk estimation based on environmental epidemiologic studies with age‐specific incidence and mortality data. Recommendations will be made regarding approaches that can be used in practice. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
