Learn Your Family History
You may be at greater risk of heart disease if someone in your family has or had heart disease before the age of 55 for men or 65 for women. While close relatives, like parents and siblings, are the closest indicators, grandparents, aunts and uncles are also important. While you can’t change your family history, you can improve your own heart disease risk through a healthier lifestyle.
Family History
It’s no secret that heart disease can run in families. In fact, your family’s health history may be one of the strongest influences on your risk of developing heart disease.
