Nice info...Are there any new conditions or diseases that have occurred in your close relatives since your last visit to the doctor? If so, let your doctor or nurse know. Family history can influence your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, or cancer. Your doctor or nurse will assess your risk of disease based on your family history and other factors. He or she may also recommend things you can do to help prevent disease, such as exercising more, changing your diet, or using screening tests to help detect disease early.
