What health issues you are most concerned about? Why

I decided to question two women in regards to their views on health issues and this is what they had to say:

Marilyn is 57 and comes from a middle eastern background where she has shared with me that the most health issues is diabetes.  Diabetes is very prominent in our culture and especially within my family.  She believes the reason is due to the heavy sweet diet she was raised in along with lack of knowledge on being healthy conscious since medical checks were not as necessary back in the days.

Ashley is 25 and is African American and when asked what was important to her when it came to health issues is and she stated "obesity".  In her family history, she believe it is a generational curse for all the women to be severely obese and it concerns her since she fights a daily battle to maintain her weight.  Ashley refuses to become a victim of her family's past that has been passed year after year.

As you can see health concerns varies depending on that woman's particular culture, background, age and personal concerns.  A very strong and sensitive subject to all women around the world.
