The new letter lists Trump’s weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, which was 116/70, testosterone level and blood sugar.
He also clarified again that he would not be examining Trump himself, but reviewing a physical conducted by Trump’s doctor.
Fox News reported that the results of his recent physical would be shared with the public during the GOP nominee’s appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show”. He has a BMI of 29.5, putting him in the overweight range. He said Trump’s calcium score in 2013 was 98 and said Trump had an EKG and chest X-ray in April, which were “normal”.
Bornstein later said he only took five minutes to write that clean bill of health, and a Trump vehicle was waiting outside while he penned the note. While he has talked about members of his family who have grappled with alcoholism or Alzheimer’s disease, the letter did not address this in the mention of his family health history.
Regarding smoking and drinking, Dr Bornstein says: “He does not use tobacco products or alcohol”.
The medications which Trump is listed as taking are a lipid-lowering agent and a low dose of aspirin. If elected, Trump would be the nation’s oldest first-term president. Trump said he would tackle childhood obesity ty bringing sports programs back to schools. In August, Bornstein said in a four-paragraph letter that Trump’s health was “astonishingly excellent”.
Trump’s appearance on the program is meant to play up a contrast with Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, who is now ill with pneumonia.
Clinton released a letter from her physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, on Wednesday that said, in part, that Clinton is “healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States”.

Trump has said some awkward things regarding Ivanka’s attractiveness in the past, telling a panel on The View that “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her”.
“It’s his personal records”.
“The media has been her number one surrogate in this”, he said.
