Cleveland tops the list of the 10 unhealthiest presidents.
1. Grover Cleveland
22nd President (1885-1889), 24th President (1893-1897)
Obesity: Since childhood, Grover Cleveland was a bit tubbier than average, and his weight problem stuck with him into adult age. At 5'11" and weighing over 250 pounds, Cleveland, the second-heaviest president to date, was nicknamed "Big Steve," and some of his nieces and nephews called him "Uncle Jumbo". http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/real-plans/stay-fit/americas-10-unhealthiest-presidents/?page=11

The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a heuristic measure of body weight based on a person's weight and height. Though it does not actually measure the percentage of body fat, it is used to estimate a healthy body weight based on a person's height, assuming an average body composition.
