Ahead of the upcoming presidential polls in the United States, President Joe Biden has been declared as ‘fit for duty’ by his doctors after his final annual medical check-up. In 2024 polls, Biden will be 82.

Biden fit to execute duty: Biden’s physician

According to Biden’s physician letter published by the White House, Kevin O’Connor said, “President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those of as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief.”

“The President remains fit for duty, and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations,” he added.

Moreover, his letter painted a largely glowing picture of a president who benefits from healthy living habits.

“The President does not use any tobacco products, does not drink alcohol, and he continues to work out at least five days a week,” the letter said.

The US president, Biden measures six feet (1.83 meters) and weighs 178 pounds (nearly 80.7 kg).

Further, the doctor said that “an extremely detailed neurological exam was again reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or ascending lateral sclerosis.”

Joe Biden, the oldest person ever to be US president spent the morning completing a series of tests that he began last year at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, a complex in the Washington suburbs with a presidential facility.
