  • One kind of cancer
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Osteoporosis
  • Stroke.

Do not cut and paste your results, write the information in your own words. Responses must be in complete sentences.

1.What were your results for each condition?

2.What raised or lowered your risk for each condition?

3.Do you think the assessments were on target given your risk factors?

4.Next develop a family tree for yourself listing disease conditions in you, your siblings, parents, grandparents and great grandparents. (Include this in your homework assignment.)

5.Do you see common disease patterns in your family?  If so, what?

6.If there are common disease patterns in a family are you destined to get that disease as well? Why or why not?

7.What changes in your lifestyle do you think would make a difference in your disease risk status?
