Zeman made an impression of suffering from health troubles at a number of public events of late. He also lost weight apparently.
After announcing his candidacy in March, Zeman said he had undergone a medical check-up confirming he suffered from diabetes and polyfunctional neuropathy impairing the sensitivity of his feet. He underwent a CT examination in September that did not reveal any new problem.
Milos Zeman was elected in January 2013 for the first time and was subsequently reelected for a second term in 2018.
