Your family health history is the health information of you and your close relatives.
Why it matters
Families share genes, environment and lifestyle. Looking at these can show whether you have a higher risk of health problems such as heart disease, stroke and cancer.
- Higher risk is not destiny: a relative with a disease raises your risk but does not mean you will get it.
- A chance to act: knowing your risk lets you lower it with a healthier lifestyle and the right tests.
How to start
- Talk with your relatives about their health.
- Draw a family tree and add what you learn.
- Collect copies of medical records and death certificates where you can.
