Father Side Grandfather (Hypertension - Deceased)
He was diagnosed with hypertension in his mid-40s. His
high blood pressure was left untreated for several years,
leading to complications such as chronic heart disease,
which eventually contributed to his early at the age of 65.
According to family accounts, his diet was high in sodium,
and he was a heavy smoker, both of which exacerbated his
condition. His sedentary lifestyle and lack of regular
medical check-ups added to the risk. Although he sought
medical treatment later in life, the long-term damage from
unmanaged hypertension was irreversible.
High-Risk Factors:
• Family History: Hypertension
• Physical: History of smoking, high blood pressure
• Interpersonal: Lack of awareness and delayed medical
intervention
• Environmental: Poor diet high in sodium, limited access to
healthcare during early stages of the disease
Father Side Uncle (Hypertension)
The uncle developed hypertension in his late 30s, which
was diagnosed during a routine check-up. He maintains a
stressful job and admits to neglecting regular exercise.
While he now takes medication to manage his blood
pressure, his fast-paced lifestyle, combined with poor
eating habits, continues to place him at high risk for
cardiovascular diseases. His family history of hypertension
significantly increases his vulnerability to complications
such as stroke or heart attack.
High-Risk Factors:
• Family History: Hypertension
• Physical: High blood pressure, overweight
• Interpersonal: High job-related stress
• Environmental: Poor dietary habits, limited exercise
Mr. X (Hypertension and Myopia)
Mr. X has a long-standing history of hypertension,
diagnosed in his mid 50s. Along with high blood pressure,
he suffers from myopia, a condition causing
nearsightedness, which has progressively worsened over
time. He admits to spending long hours working at a desk
job, which contributes to his sedentary lifestyle. His diet
includes frequent consumption of processed and fast
foods, which aggravates his hypertension. Although he is
compliant with his blood pressure medication, the lack of
physical activity and poor diet remain significant risk
factors.
High-Risk Factors:
• Family History: Hypertension
• Physical: Hypertension, myopia
• Interpersonal: Limited medical follow-up, stressful work
routine
• Environmental: Sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, prolonged
screen exposure
Father Side Grandmother (Breast Cancer -
Deceased)
She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 68.
She underwent chemotherapy but eventually succumbed to
the disease 2 years after her initial diagnosis. Her family
history did not suggest a strong genetic predisposition to
cancer, but lifestyle factors such as a high-fat diet and
limited physical activity could have played a role. In
addition, she had little access to early screening, which
delayed the detection of her cancer until it had progressed
to an advanced stage.
High-Risk Factors:
• Family History: Breast cancer
• Physical: High-fat diet
• Interpersonal: Lack of early screening and limited health
education on breast cancer prevention
• Environmental: Poor access to healthcare services,
sedentary lifestyle
Mother Side Grandmother (Lung Disease -
Deceased)
Grandmother from the mother’s side had chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), likely caused by
her history of heavy smoking. Diagnosed in her late 60s,
her condition worsened due to inadequate access to
healthcare, and she eventually passed away from
respiratory complications. Her smoking habit and exposure
to environmental pollutants played a major role in the
development and progression of her lung disease.
High-Risk Factors:
• Family History: Lung disease
• Physical: History of smoking
• Interpersonal: Limited awareness of lung health, no early
intervention
• Environmental: Exposure to environmental pollutants,
smoking history
Mrs. Y (Stage 3 Cervical Cancer)
Mrs. Y was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer at age
of 59. Her condition was discovered when she was brought
to the hospital due to excessive cervical bleeding. She had
experienced irregular periods and pelvic pain for months
but delayed seeking medical attention. After her diagnosis,
she underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Her
condition is now stable, but regular monitoring is required.
High-Risk Factors:
• Family History: Cervical cancer
• Physical: Stage 2 cervical cancer, smoking history
• Interpersonal: Delayed healthcare-seeking behavior
• Environmental: Lack of vaccination, limited access to
preventive care
M.T. (Hypertension)
M.T. developed hypertension in his early 40s, which is not
surprising given the family history of the condition. His job
is physically demanding, yet his dietary habits, including
the frequent consumption of high-fat and high-sodium
foods, contribute to his condition. He has started treatment
with antihypertensive medication but has yet to make
significant lifestyle changes, such as improving his diet or
increasing physical activity.
High-Risk Factors:
• Family History: Hypertension
• Physical: Hypertension
• Interpersonal: Lack of education on lifestyle modifications
• Environmental: Poor dietary habits, stressful job
A.T. (Myopia)
A.T. suffers from myopia, a condition diagnosed during
childhood, which has progressively worsened due to
prolonged exposure to gadgets such as phones and
laptops. The excessive screen time strains his eyes, leading
to worsening vision and frequent headaches. She also
spends long hours indoors, often neglecting outdoor
activities, which could help reduce eye strain.
High-Risk Factors:
• Family History: Myopia
• Physical: Poor eyesight
• Interpersonal: Lack of awareness of eye health, limited
outdoor activity
• Environmental: Prolonged screen exposure, poor posture
during gadget use
