APPLE Inc founder and Chief Executive Steve Jobs, looking to quell rumors about his health, yesterday said his doctors have discovered a hormonal imbalance that has been causing his weight loss.
Jobs said he will undergo a "relatively simple" treatment and will remain as head of Apple until he recovers.
"A hormone imbalance ... has been 'robbing' me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy," Jobs said in a public letter, adding: "Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis."
Rumors about his health have intensified since Cupertino, California-based Apple last month said Jobs would not be making his annual keynote address this week in San Francisco at the Macworld conference. Apple said this year's conference will be its last, with Phil Schiller, an Apple marketing executive, giving the company's presentation.
Adding to the speculation, Jobs, who survived pancreatic cancer, has appeared gaunt at public appearances.
