A member asked:
What percentage of your health is influenced by lifestyle choices versus genetics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not that simple: There are many, many aspects of our health. If a person had an inherited health condition - then genetics might play a very big part in expression of that condition. However, many other aspects of that same person's health may be dictated by their lifestyle (sleep, food, vitamins/ minerals/ exercise, etc.)
