For example, to find out what might trigger the onset of myocardial infarction, we may wonder if the patient endured certain heavy physical activity, or if he/she consumed specific type of food right before the disease. If we can gather the so called "exposure" information from many patients, it is possible to determine the effect of the event or "attitude" on the onset of disease.
