The White House physician released a comprehensive medical evaluation stating that President Trump remains in strong overall health with excellent cognitive and physical performance.
The examination included assessments of Trump’s cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological systems, with no abnormal findings identified during the evaluation. Trump, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall, had a body mass index of 29.7, just below the threshold for obesity classification.
What the Examination Found
Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standard screening tool for cognitive impairment and dementia. His physician noted that this matched results from previous examinations in 2025 and 2018.
The report documented bruising on Trump’s hands, which physicians attributed to “minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking” and noted it as “a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.” Trump’s physicians recommended a switch to low-dose aspirin as part of his ongoing care.
Trump’s cholesterol levels showed significant improvement, with total cholesterol measuring 143, down from 223 in 2018. His physicians attributed the improvement to medications including rosuvastatin and ezetimibe, which help manage LDL and HDL cholesterol levels.
Chronic Conditions and Recommendations
The White House previously disclosed that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common age-related condition affecting blood circulation in the legs. During this examination, Trump exhibited slight lower-leg swelling, though his physician noted the condition had improved since the previous year’s evaluation.
Medical staff provided recommendations regarding diet, physical activity, and weight management. Trump currently takes three medications: two for cholesterol management and aspirin for cardiovascular health.
Context and Significance
Trump, who turns 80 next month, became the oldest person ever elected president at the time of his 2024 election. Presidential health disclosures have historically been a matter of public interest, though no legal requirement mandates that presidents release complete medical records.
This marks the fourth publicly disclosed medical evaluation since Trump returned to office for his second term. The release comes as the administration emphasizes the president’s fitness heading into the midterm election cycle.
