Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and many more diseases are
caused by a variety of factors. Some factors you cannot change like your age or
your family history. Other factors are under your control like diet and
exercise, but you might not be aware of their relationship to disease.
This Risk Assessment section offers tools to assess your risk of developing a
disease. It doesn't mean that you will get the disease but you can be aware of
the factors that contribute to the disease and change your risk by modifying
your lifestyle. It would be nice if we could turn back the clock or choose our
parents. Short of that, the Risk Assessments will identify those things in your
life you can change to reduce
your risk.
