BACKGROUND
Family history of diseases among American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) people may influence health.
METHODS
We examine the prevalence of family health history among a cohort of AIAN people (n= 10,374) enrolled in the Education and Research Towards Health (EARTH) Study. We evaluate the association between having a positive family history and health behaviors to determine if those reporting a family history were more likely to report lifestyles that put them at risk of developing these health conditions.
RESULTS
Among participants, 17.7% reported not knowing their family history and 23.5% preferred not to answer the family history component of the questionnaire. Eight percent of participants reported a family history of colorectal cancer, 7.9% a family history of breast cancer, 25.8% a family history of heart attack, and 46.7% a family history of diabetes. Obesity, physical activity, cholesterol, and perceived health were associated with family history.
CONCLUSIONS
Individuals with a family history of diseases may have lifestyles that influence their disease risk.
背景
美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AIAN）的家族病史可能会影响健康。
方法
我们调查了参与“健康促进教育与研究”（EARTH）研究的一组AIAN人群（n = 10374）的家族健康史患病率。我们评估了有阳性家族史与健康行为之间的关联，以确定那些报告有家族史的人是否更有可能报告使其面临患这些健康疾病风险的生活方式。
结果
在参与者中，17.7%的人报告不知道自己的家族病史，23.5%的人不愿回答问卷中的家族病史部分。8%的参与者报告有结直肠癌家族史，7.9%有乳腺癌家族史，25.8%有心脏病发作家族史，46.7%有糖尿病家族史。肥胖、体育活动、胆固醇和自我感知健康状况与家族史相关。
结论
有家族病史的个体可能有影响其疾病风险的生活方式。
