The release also said that “as all physicians do when seeing a patient for the first time”, Oz took Trump “through a full review of systems including the following: nervous system; head and neck; hormone levels; cardiovascular health and related medications; respiratory health; gastrointestinal health; bladder or prostate health; dermatological health; history of cancer”. The candidate is listed as 6 foot 3 inches tall and weighing 236 pounds, making him overweight for his height. Huckabee Sanders said she did not see the summary Mr. Trump showed Dr. Oz, but “he self-admitted he could lose a few pounds”.
“It’s tough, because of the way I live”, he said.
Candidate health and transparency has taken center stage in the presidential campaign in recent days.
“It would be good”, Trump said.
Trump is 70 years old and, if elected, would be the oldest man elected to the office of United States president.
His body mass index is 29.5, which is considered overweight. His blood sugar level is 99 milligrams per deciliter.
