Family History Assessment

Family History Assessment is a process of gathering information about health conditions and traits within a family. It helps identify patterns of diseases that may run in families, such as diabetes or heart disease, and can inform healthcare decisions. By understanding a family's medical background, healthcare professionals can assess risks and recommend preventive measures or screenings. This assessment typically includes questions about relatives’ health, ages at onset of diseases, and lifestyle factors. It’s a valuable tool for personalized healthcare, helping individuals make informed choices based on their family's genetic and health history.
