I've been looking at my Ancestry DNA results for health issues with the aid of AI.
As expected, I have strong markers for cardio-vascular issues. Almost all of my family have died from these conditions, so it isn't news to me.
Once I added in the family history on the female side, and a couple of symptoms I have, Google pushed me ever harder to call my GP tomorrow and request blood tests, ECG and AAA screening.
It all seems a bit overblown to me. I've always assumed something along these lines would get me, and I think they are all better ways to die than any of the cancers.
I know AAA screening isn't done for women, so that's out anyway.
Would you ignore it all? The NHS is aware of my family history, and no-one seems very interested. I can't help thinking that the AI just gets more excited to keep me interested.
( I did find some interesting information about how my body manages fats and sugars, that seem to correlate with my experience, and suggests some ways I can improve my diet)
