  1. Family history (medicine)

    Refimprove date November 2009 In medicine , a family history consists of information about disorders from which the direct blood relatives of the patient have suffered. Genealogy typically includes very little of the medical history of the family , but the medical history could be considered a specific subset of the total history of a family. Citation needed date November 2009 Knowledge of your family history can help identify a predisposition to develop certain illnesses, and enable you to avoid triggers in your environment. Uses Although often neglected, ref Rich E. C., et al. 2004 Reconsidering the family history in primary care in J Gen Intern Med 2004 19 273 80. PMID 15009784. ref many healthcare professionals glean information on family morbidity of particular diseases e.g. cardiovascular disease s, autoimmune disorder s, mental disorders , diabetes mellitus diabetes , cancer to assess whether a person is at risk of developing similar problems. Family histories may be imprecise because of various possible reasons Adoption, fostering, illegitimacy and adultery Lack of contact between close relatives Uncertainty about the relative s exact diagnosis In complex situations, a family tree or genogram may be used to organize the resulting information.
