President Trump’s physician said Thursday the recent physical he underwent showed that he was “in very good health” — but also revealed that he had gained weight and was now considered obese under the government’s own guidelines.
“After taking into account all the laboratory results, examinations and specialist recommendations, it is my determination that the president remains in very good health overall,” wrote Dr. Sean Conley.
But the stats he released show that Trump, who measured in at a height at 6-foot-3, had gained 4 pounds since his last results were released in July 2018, and now weighs in at 243 pounds.
That gives him a Body Mass Index of 30.4, which according to the National Institute of Health’s BMI calculator makes him obese, but only by a couple pounds, as the threshold is a score of 30.
The 72-year-old commander-in-chief’s blood pressure, heart, pulse and temperature all checked out normal.
The only change in his medication was a higher dosage of the statin he had been taking to stave off heart disease.
