President Donald Trump is facing renewed health scrutiny after White House physicians advised him to eat healthier and exercise more, with at least one outside physician saying obesity generally is a 'strong risk factor' for serious illness.
The 80-year-old president weighs 238 pounds. At 6 feet 3 inches, his reported body mass index is 29.7, just below the BMI threshold of 30 used to classify obesity, according to official medical records released in May 2026.
