Diseases Striking Younger Generations

Dr. David Samadi, robotic prostate surgeon, discusses the increased prevalence of what were historically considered old age diseases in the younger generations of Americans. While some of these diagnoses have better screening to thank, others can be attributed to poor lifestyle factors. In this segment Dr. Samadi touches on the prevention and diagnosis of melanoma, osteoporosis, stroke, breast cancer, Alzheimer’s, Type 2 Diabetes, gout, and prostate cancer. Among the preventative measures discussed are the avoidance of tanning beds and smoking, increased genetic awareness testing, maintenance of a healthy weight through diet and exercise, and personalized medicine to fit each individual.
