Joe Biden Fit Enough for Presidency Duties
US President Joe Biden (79) is in good health. This is shown by the results of his routine health check, which the White House published on Friday (November 19). The examination took place on the same day at Walter Reed Military Hospital.
Biden, who celebrates his 79th birthday on November 20, is described as an "active, energetic 78-year-old man" who is fit enough to "successfully perform the duties of the presidency." His healthy lifestyle certainly plays a major role: Doctor Kevin O'Connor noted in the report that Biden does not smoke, does not drink alcohol and exercises at least five times a week.
Special task for Kamala Harris
The report also listed the predominantly positive results of various tests, including a colonoscopy. Since the 79-year-old was under general anesthesia for the duration of the procedure, he temporarily handed over authority to Vice President Kamala Harris (57) during this time. A few grievances have been noted about the oldest president in the history of the United States, however.
Biden's increased throat clearing and coughing during public appearances is not due to a serious health issue, the report says. The reflux disease with accompanying heartburn could be a cause. Biden also suffers from allergies and arthritis, and his stiff gait is the result of a mild nerve condition in his feet and a foot injury he sustained a year ago.
