President Donald Trump, who has a penchant for fast food and relies on golf for exercise, is obese and has elevated blood pressure, according to results from his annual physical exam the White House released Wednesday.
Still, his physician, Navy Dr. Sean Conley, concluded that Trump, who turns 74 in June, “remains healthy” and had “no significant changes to report” from last year’s physical.
The results come more than a month after the conclusion of his two-part exam, but the White House didn’t provide details about the delay.
Conley’s note confirms it was split over two parts—one conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in November, an unannounced visit that was later reported. The second half took place at the White House, as is traditional, in April.
At 121/79, Trump’s blood pressure was slightly elevated, based on information from the Mayo Clinic. His body mass index, based on the National Institutes of Health’s calculations for his 6-foot-3-inch height, 244-pound weight, puts him into the obesity category.
