Trump's personal doctor: the president is healthy, but it will not hurt to lose weight
US President Donald Trump is in "excellent" physical shape, Rear-Admiral Ronnie Jackson, the official doctor at the White House, said on Tuesday. Reports about it "Voice of America".
“The president’s general health is excellent,” he said, commenting on the results of a medical examination the president underwent earlier this year. “He can still enjoy good cardiac and overall health thanks to a lifetime of abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.”
Dr. Jackson also found it necessary to add that the weight of the President of the United States is 239 pounds (108,4 kg), which is "somewhat more than what he should be." The head of the White House does not suffer from diabetes, and takes daily 10 mg of the drug Crustor to lower cholesterol in the blood.
A White House doctor noted that he and Donald Trump had discussed the need for regular exercise and diet.
“He was more enthusiastic about diet than he was about exercise,” Ronny Jackson said. “But we will do both.”
According to the therapist, the President of the United States asked for cognitive tests to evaluate, including, the patient's ability to think logically. But the doctor himself did not see “no need” for such an inspection.
“I see him every day,” Roni Jackson explained. – We discuss many things. I have no concerns about his cognitive abilities. The President is a great thinker and fits the bill.”
However, at the insistence of the president, the test was conducted. Dr. Jackson told reporters that Donald Trump scored 30 30 points on the Montreal cognitive scale, which is used to evaluate "mild cognitive disorders and diagnose Alzheimer's disease."
