Risk Assessments
What's your risk for developing a certain disease?
Risk assessments are questionnaires developed by the medical community to help identify an individual's potential for acquiring a specific disease or disorder.
Based on analysis of thousands of patient case histories, risk assessments seek to correlate a person's background (factoring in such variables as race, age, family history, etc.) and current or past behaviors (eating habits, smoking, etc.) with their chances for developing a specific disease.
These assessments can be useful tools to enhance your awareness of particular risks and should lead you to information which suggests ways to change current behaviors to potentially improve and preserve your future health.
