Dont know about the first two, but heart disease do. heart stroke happened to my mother and both her parents, her dad died from it. My fathers dad died of brain store and doctors say he heart is also weaken(mostly from smoking 30+ years)
I dont follow, if you are talking about lifestyle choices there is really inst any similarity, neither in weight, eating habits or work or living conditions .My grandma and grandpa lived in a village until there 40s. Also heart disease is not the only genetic disease in the family. Both my mom and her mom had ovary cancer.Diabetes runs in the family both type 1 and type ,both sets of grandparents and both there siblings and parents,both sets of aunts and uncles, me and my sisters plus alot other relatives. My grandma(father’s side) had bipolar, so does my uncle so does my sister and all of this is just counting genetic disease and not everything else like baldness(both me and my uncle started at 16), i have a single string of blonde hair growing in exactly the middle of my forehead and so does my aunt’s daughter(our moms are twins) and we both have a baby tooth that steal didnt follow at our 20s with the adult one growing behind them
For two and three, even if there weren’t a genetic component, the lifestyle and dietary habits of a family absolutely do impact the next generation of the family. Learned behaviors that increase the risk of alcoholism or heart disease absolutely count as “runs in the family”. Further, “runs in the family” never meant “everyone in the family absolutely has it”.

That’s like saying black lung runs in families because your family all worked in the mines.
