President Donald Trump has been declared in “excellent health” by the White House physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, following his annual physical examination. The 78-year-old president, known for his active lifestyle and frequent golf games, has reportedly improved several aspects of his health compared to previous years.
The report, released on Sunday, highlighted that Trump’s weight has dropped to 224 pounds, down from 244 pounds in 2020. His resting heart rate is 62 beats per minute, and his blood pressure is 128/74 mmHg, which, while elevated, is considered manageable. His cholesterol levels have also shown improvement over the years.
Dr. Barbabella emphasized Trump’s “robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” attributing his health to an active lifestyle that includes frequent participation in meetings, public appearances, and golf tournaments. Trump’s golfing success, including victories at various championships at his Florida clubs, was cited as evidence of his fitness.
The president also passed a cognitive assessment with a perfect score of 30 out of 30, confirming his mental sharpness. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment is commonly used to detect mild cognitive dysfunction.
The report noted a few past medical procedures, including cataract surgery and a colonoscopy that revealed diverticulitis, a common condition that causes inflammation in the colon. These issues have been managed effectively and are not currently impacting his health.
Dr. Barbabella concluded that Trump is “fully fit” to perform the duties of the presidency. The president himself has expressed confidence in his health, jokingly attributing it to his “frequent victories” on the golf course.
This thorough health evaluation reassures supporters of his ability to lead while showcasing his commitment to maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.
