...he 6-foot-3 president tips the scales at 244 pounds, up from 243 pounds in 2019 and 239 pounds the year before. With a BMI of 30.5, that still puts him in the clinically obese category. Trump, who has a common form of heart disease, was warned by his previous physician Dr. Ronny Jackson in 2018 that he needed to do more exercise and improve his diet — with a nutritionist brought into the White House to advise chefs on cutting the commander-in-chief’s calories. Several examinations at the Walter Reed military hospital between November 2019 and April 2020 also found Trump’s...

President Trump earned a perfect score on a medical test that is used to detect early signs of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The test, called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, was conducted during his routine physical on Friday, at the insistence of the president, who wanted to tamp down rumors about his mental abilities that have surfaced from his critics. Dr. Ronny Jackson, the White House doctor who conducted the exam, said that he did not believe it was necessary because he hadn't noticed any issues with Trump's memory after spending the past year with him. The doctor's quarters are in...

Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump rises around 5:30 a.m. and begins making his first calls to aides and lawmakers as early as 6.

(CNN)President Donald Trump's doctor, Dr. Ronny Jackson, characterized the president's health as "excellent," but like the majority of Americans, Trump is overweight and he doesn't get enough exercise.

Being overweight is simply defined as a person whose weight is higher than what is considered a normal weight adjusted...

[FULL TITLE] [The media pokes and prods at Trump’s health: The president’s doctor answered every question, even the silly ones.] “Does the president watch too much TV?” “Is he limited to one scoop of ice cream now?” “Did you address drug addiction?” There were plenty of important questions asked to Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, President Donald Trump’s personal physician, during his nearly hour-long marathon briefing on Trump’s health. But the longer it went on, the more opportunity it gave reporters to exhaust every question they could think of—leading some on the right to paint the media as unwilling to accept...

At the president’s request, Jackson said that he reviewed a number of cognitive tests and then administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment during Trump’s first presidential physical exam on Friday afternoon at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The 10-minute exam is designed to detect mild cognitive impairment, generally in older patients. Trump answered all 30 questions correctly, Jackson said. The test includes asking a patient to name several animals, draw a clock with the hands at a certain time, copy a cube and recall a short list of words, among others. Jackson said he has “no indication whatsoever that he...
