President Donald Trump is in “very good health” overall his doctor said, but his weight qualifies him as obese, according to medical results the White House released on Thursday.
Trump’s weight is 243 pounds, up 4 pounds since his 2018 physical, and his height is 6 feet, 3 inches, his physician Sean Conley said in a memorandum. That makes his body-mass index 30.4, according to the National Institutes of Health. A BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese, according to the agency.
