Trump’s checkup puts his weight at 267 pounds

After a whiplash-inducing morning of mixed messages, Donald Trump on Wednesday gave a small window into some of the results from his most recent physical examination, revealing his weight to be 267 pounds and that he takes a statin.

Trump gave the quick synopsis on Dr. Mehmet Oz’s television show after the Republican presidential nominee’s aides had said he would, then he would not, broach the topic with the doctor on the show.

A news release from “The Dr. Oz Show” said Oz, “as all physicians do when seeing a patient for the first time,” took the candidate “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 release also said they reviewed “family medical history — occurrence of Alzheimer’s or dementia, heart disease, cancer in relatives.”

The details about Trump’s weight were reported by NBC News, and confirmed by a person who attended the taping. It said Oz, who focuses heavily on obesity, declared Trump “slightly overweight” (Trump is roughly 6-foot-2.) That height and weight amount to a body mass index of more than 34.3, which the National Institutes of Health classifies as “obese.”

Trump takes a statin, which is normally used to control cholesterol, and which has kept his blood pressure low. There was no evidence of any previous heart attacks and he had a normal echocardiogram, according to the report.

Trump’s father had Alzheimer’s disease. His daughter Ivanka joined him for part of the show, which was taped Wednesday in Manhattan and is to be broadcast today.

Trump, 70, discussed the results as the campaign of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, was expected to release some details of her own latest examinations after her recent bout of pneumonia.

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, told Fox News she did not think the candidate should release medical information on a television show.

Oz said he had also invited Clinton to appear on the show.
