Research findings in the field of genomics conclude that chronic conditions arise from the complex interaction between multiple genes, environmental factors, and personal behaviors. However, genetics alone will not determine the extent of development of chronic disease. Implementation of health and nutritional principles are needed in order to establish healthy lifestyles that will help reduce the risk factor for disease. Family health history offers evidence for multiple gene, behavior, and environmental interactions and is also recognized as an independent predictor and important risk factor for disease

I think it's great to focus on one specific population. Undoubtedly health beliefs and practices vary between races, ethnicities, and genders. Studying one particular population will allow for more effective interventions and programs.
