Epidemiological Self-Analysis by Jaime https://padlet.com/jaime_culpepper/qda8prudsuug en-us 2018-02-04 02:03:55 UTC 2025-11-22 15:53:15 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png jaime_culpepper https://padlet.com/jaime_culpepper/qda8prudsuug/wish/227805004 Immediate family (parents):
My dad, a lifelong smoker and drinker, had a hemorragic stroke last summer but luckily survived. Both of my parents are on medication for high blood pressure, and my mom has a history of bone breaks and has been diagnosed with Osteopenia.
Extended Family:
- Both my maternal aunt and my paternal grandmother died from cancer that started in the breast(s) and spread to other organs. My aunt was 60 years old at the time of death, and my grandmother was 85. 
-My maternal grandparents both died when I was a young child, and I'm not sure of the causes, but I know that my grandfather had diabetes and an amputated limb as a result. 
-My paternal grandfather died when I was a child also, from a heart attack. He was a lifelong smoker. 
-My mom's other sister, who is still living, also suffers from high blood pressure and gout. 

*Most of the health issues in my family are preventable and/or reversible ones with diet and exercise, which none of them are doing! It's quite frustrating!

More about breast cancer:
  • About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12.4%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
  • In 2018, an estimated 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 63,960 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.
  • About 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. These occur due to genetic mutations that happen as a result of the aging process and life in general, rather than inherited mutations
(Breastcancer.org, 2018)

Recommendation:
Avoid Tanning Beds or sunlamps

This is SCARY! I used a tanning bed a handful of times as a teenager, so I answered "yes" to the question, but I'm surprised that avoiding them is the only recommendation for a fair-skinned redhead.
How is sunscreen and sun avoidance not mentioned?!]]> 2018-02-04 15:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jaime_culpepper/qda8prudsuug/wish/227862165 Osteoporosis Risk jaime_culpepper https://padlet.com/jaime_culpepper/qda8prudsuug/wish/227862410 Result:Below Average
