Lara Shemtob and Rabeea F Khan discuss the importance of considering fitness for work, particularly in positions of power like the US presidency. They raise questions about the health and fitness of political figures like President Biden and Donald Trump. The authors emphasize the need for a nuanced approach to assessing fitness for work, focusing on function rather than clinical diagnosis. They suggest that organisations should take a proactive approach to health assessments and provide support for individuals to optimize their health for work. They also highlight the importance of addressing health concerns in the workplace to ensure the well-being of individuals and the wider community.
