Family Health History

Family health history is a record of health conditions and diseases within your family. It includes information about illnesses that affect relatives, such as parents, siblings, grandparents, and even aunts and uncles. This history helps healthcare providers understand your risk for certain genetic conditions or diseases, guiding them in prevention and treatment strategies. By knowing your family’s health patterns, you can make more informed lifestyle choices and seek early screenings if necessary, ultimately contributing to better personal health management.
