President Donald Trump recently underwent his third medical examination since becoming the oldest president ever inaugurated. The White House released the results, highlighting that Trump is in ‘excellent health’ despite recommendations for weight loss and increased exercise.
Medical Examination Details
The examination, conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, included routine dental and medical assessments. Dr. Sean Barbabella, the White House physician, noted that Trump shows strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function. He is deemed fully fit to perform his duties as Commander-in-Chief.
Dr. Barbabella’s memo included preventive counseling on diet, a recommendation for a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss. President Trump stands 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 238 pounds, up from 224 pounds last April.
Health Observations and Recommendations
The examination revealed slight lower leg swelling, an improvement from last year, attributed to chronic venous insufficiency. Trump has also developed bruising on his hands, attributed to frequent handshakes. Despite these observations, his cognitive and physical performance remain excellent.
Trump’s heart health was assessed using an AI-enhanced electrocardiogram, estimating his cardiac age to be 14 years younger than his chronological age. He currently takes aspirin, preferring a 325-milligram dose despite recommendations for a smaller dose due to potential bleeding risks.
Cognitive Assessment
Trump again took the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, scoring a perfect 30 out of 30, indicating no signs of cognitive impairment or early dementia.
