The campaign trail this week has been dominated not by poll numbers, but by a different set of statistics: cholesterol, triglycerides and the blood pressure levels laid out by the medical records of both major party candidates.
The physical was done September 9 by Dr. Harold N. Bornstein of New York City, the same doctor who raved about Trump’s health in a December statement. “I don’t know”, Trump said. His cardiac evaluation, electrocardiogram (EKG) and chest x-ray were also normal. Trump’s physician says his height is 6 feet 3 inches, and that he weighs 236 pounds, which puts him at a BMI of 29.5, which is overweight according to the National Institutes of Health calculator.

She will return to the campaign trail Thursday, her campaign added. “We’ll talk about everything and we’re all having a good time”.
It cited no family history of cancer or early heart disease, but mentioned no other conditions. In his family history there is no history of heart disease; his father, Fred Trump, a NY real estate developer who died at 93, contracted Alzheimer’s Disease late in his long life.
