There’s a wealth of health history information
Once you share your knowledge with a family member, tell your doctor what you discovered.
Go to linksSome families find it helpful to appoint one member who is in charge of keeping the family health history up to date. This is someone who would keep track of the health of family members, noting when someone is diagnosed with any diseases. If the disease is inherited (a disease passed down from parent to child), this information would then be helpful for others in the same family. Knowing what diseases run in your family can help you take care of yourself and your loved ones.
