Knowing is Not Enough—Act on Your Family Health
History
Has your mother or sister had
breast cancer? Does your mother, father, sister, or brother have diabetes?

early can often mean better health in the long run.

stillbirth compared with women without COVID-19 (adjusted relative risk =
1.90; 95% CI = 1.69–2.15). The magnitude of association was higher during
the period of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant predominance than during
the pre-Delta period.
