Need help with my Psychology question – I’m studying for my class.
Week 4 Assignment: Disease Risk Assessment
Please take at least one assessment on cancer risks. Explain your risk factors and what steps you could take to help control these risks. Then take at least one longevity assessment. Explain what steps you could take to add years to your life. Although a risk factor analysis is not completely accurate in predicting disease, this type of analysis can alert you if you are high at risk for this and other chronic diseases. Several internet sites offer risk screenings.
The link provided below will take you to a brief quiz on cancer prevention:

There is also a good quiz there for CVD risks, as well as many other diseases, if you would like to add to your body of knowledge.

- Write a scholarly article in APA format containing at minimum 400 words.
