Many diseases are passed from generation to generation, and sharing information about your family's health history may help keep your loved ones healthy. Dr. Judy Boughey, a Mayo Clinic surgeon, says, while it may not be comfortable to ask relatives about various conditions they have had, doing so could help prevent disease.
"The biggest advice I would give is that if you are with your family this Thanksgiving, spend a few moments to share some of that family health history information. And if a red flag goes up, report that to your doctor. It could actually save someone's life," says John Presutti, D.O., a Mayo Clinic family medicine physician and a researcher at the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine.
