abstract="The concept of risk entails a broad discussion, ranging from a more general approach, seeking to contextualize it in the dynamic of societal change, to a more specific approach in the field of health, particularly in epidemiological studies on associations. The term &quot;risk&quot; has appeared with increasing frequency in medical journals in the last three decades, but the phenomenon is not exclusive to health and is permeated by the diversity of a notion that hides a conceptual gap. Given this diversity, the current paper begins with a literature review to systematize the discussion of risk. The result is organized in three sections: 1) an overview of the discussion on risk within the debate on societal change in the transition from modernity to a new phase of social organization; 2) a summary of various uses of the risk notion in health knowledge; and 3) the establishment of the epidemiological concept of risk and its link to clinical medicine.<p /><p>Language: pt</p>",
