So many diseases can be prevented if we learn to assess our risk factors and consult with our healthcare professional early on. For this week’s assignment, visit the Siteman Cancer Center of the Washington University School of Medicine to assess your risk of the following diseases:
Cancer
Diabetes
Heart Disease
Osteoporosis
Stroke
1. Take at least two of the short disease-risk assessments, with the understanding that these are not meant to diagnose or reveal any specific health issues, and see if you gain any insights or awareness about potential health risks.
2. Write at least 250 words describing the results and what you learned from the assessment about potential risks for the diseases you chose. Also, explain how disease assessments can be helpful to creating a better quality lifestyle and minimize the chance of chronic illness. Please use APA format and include a reference page with at least 2 scholarly resources.
