Glossary Family History

record of health conditions in close relatives

Family History, also known as family medical history or genetic history, refers to the record of health information about a person's close relatives. This includes information on diseases, conditions, and health patterns that may be hereditary, such as alopecia or other genetic disorders. Understanding family history can help healthcare professionals assess the risk of certain conditions and recommend preventive measures or early interventions.
