‘Super-agers’
Despite his age, President Joe Biden has a strong health profile. He does not smoke, drinks rarely, and works out five times a week. A recent medical report released by the White House concluded that Biden is “vigorously healthy.”
Biden is expected to remain in good health for the next presidential term. A study by the University of Illinois classified him as a “super-ager .” He is expected to live longer than the average person in the United States. He is expected to reach 86 years old at the end of his second term.
As the country’s population ages, the risk of life-threatening diseases rises. The 65 and older population is projected to double from 52 million in 2018 to 95 million by 2060.
Joe Biden’s age has raised concerns about his ability to serve as President. As a result, his aides are intensely protective of his health. His doctor declared him “vigorously healthy” last year.
Biden has a family history of long life. His father was 86 when he died, and his grandfather was 72. As a result, the Biden family has always lived in Delaware.
Health concerns
During a conversation with MSNBC, US President Joe Biden discussed his age. He joked that he is still coming to terms with becoming an octogenarian.
“I’m lucky. I’m in good health,” Biden said, adding that he is not overweight. He works out five times a week. The President also takes an anticoagulant and a cholesterol pill. He says he will discuss his future with his family over the holidays.

In recent months, Joe Biden’s health has become a significant talking point, with polls showing his approval rating plummeting. He has been diagnosed with several common health conditions related to aging, including spinal arthritis, atrial fibrillation, and gastroesophageal reflux.
Vow to inoculate the US population
During the midterm elections, Joe Biden received a boost in his re-election prospects. After all, in November, the Democrats held the Senate, so they lost the House. In the process, the Democratic party scored its best midterm result in decades.
However, Biden has been tagged by some critics as lacking stamina. They have noted that he has lost hair, has become thinner, and has had several senior moments. They have also questioned his mental capacity to serve as President.
While Biden has not formally announced his re-election plans, he said he would discuss it with his family over the holidays. Some have questioned whether he will run again, and others have said they wish he would step down.
Work with a younger generation of party leaders.
Earlier this year, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it was time for a new generation of leaders to lead the Democratic Party. She also announced she was stepping down from her leadership role. During the midterms, the Democrats narrowly lost the House, defeating expectations. It’s a sign that the party’s control of several statehouses and Congress is in danger.
The younger generation of party leaders is eager to take over. But it’s unclear whether they can completely reshape the presidential race in two years. Some analysts believe the Democratic party is still heavily dominated by the old guard.
“Gerontocracy” has worked in the Democratic and Republican parties for years. But the new slate of Democratic leaders, who are emerging after the midterms, may not be able to change the game in two years.
