Tests know the risk of sudden death 10 years later

The authors of this groundbreaking DNA test expect a decade to be long enough for people to change that dark future.

A Finnish research group has found signs in the gene that can clearly reflect the risk and stroke in a person 10 years later . Since then, they have developed a DNA testing tool that can compare a person's genome with 49,000 known disease-related genetic factors , then make a miraculous prediction.

The new DNA test is expected to help patients know the risk of sudden death 10 years later - (artwork from the internet).

Predicting the disease early can help people at risk of healthier lifestyle changes and other preventive measures, according to the lead author of the study, Dr. Elisabeth Widen from the University of Helsinki.

To assess the accuracy of the test, the scientists recruited 7,328 volunteers. Scientists are only in their DNA and must predict the risk of cardiovascular disease, their risk of sudden death.

These science-based prophecies are compared to participants' health and habits.

The results showed that most people in the group at risk of sudden death in 10 years have an unhealthy lifestyle, nutrition, weight . for example 40% of them are smokers, many people have cholesterol high….

Within 18 months after the dark prediction, many patients said they had completely abandoned harmful habits. 17% quit smoking, many started to eat healthier.

Research has not yet been published. Scientists have only presented this part at the annual meeting of the European Society for Human Genetics that has just taken place. The team is still somewhat open about all the evidence they have shown the accuracy of the predictions given by the test, but the information has been enough for scientists to strongly support.

Surveys show that after receiving bad news, most volunteers are willing to change harmful habits. The risk of developing coronary artery disease, which can lead to fatal heart attacks, is the most likely threat.
