Rate difference Vs. Logistic Regression Analysis

When you have N (Total Numbers) and % (Percentage), Rate difference is simply the difference between maximum and minimum percentage value.

Meanwhile, Rate ratio is the maximum percentage value divided by minimum percentage value.

In the Statistical Analysis,
Once you have already conducted logistic Regression Analysis, it's not necessary to further derive Rate difference. As findings of Rate difference and Logistic Regression Analysis give the result with the same notion.

So it is not preferred to both things in statistical analysis.
