Creating a Family Health Portrait is an important step in understanding your family's health history and potential risks. This guide will provide you with clear, step-by-step instructions to help you fill out the form accurately and effectively.

Follow the steps to complete your Family Health Portrait.

1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the Family Health Portrait form and open it in your chosen editor.
2. Begin by entering your relatives' names in the designated boxes on the form, marking their gender as either male (M) or female (F) for each individual.
3. On the next line, write down any health conditions that each relative has had, including the age at which they were diagnosed, noted in parentheses. For example, you could write 'diabetes (diagnosed - age 37)'.
4. If any family members have passed away, indicate this by writing 'deceased' followed by their age at death. An example would be 'heart attack (deceased - age 63)'.
5. If you have twins in your family, write 'twin' for both individuals on the first line. For identical twins, you would specify 'identical twin'.
6. For half siblings, label them as 'half brother' or 'half sister' and clarify whether they are from a different father or mother on the next line.
7. It is also beneficial to record any specific ancestry information about your relatives. You could write 'Mexican' if applicable, or note the relevant country of origin.
8. Once you have filled out the Family Health Portrait, take it to a healthcare professional who can use this information to provide personalized care. Make sure to save a copy for your own records and update it regularly as you learn more about your family's health history.
