President Donald Trump remains in “excellent health” and is “fully fit” to carry out presidential duties, according to a comprehensive medical evaluation released Friday by his physician.
Dr. Sean Barbabella conducted the extensive examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, involving 22 medical specialists. The evaluation included cardiac imaging, CT scans, cancer screenings, and preventative assessments.
Key Findings
Barbabella concluded that Trump’s “cognitive and physical performance are excellent” with no abnormal findings identified during the evaluation. Trump weighed 238 pounds at the time of the examination, an increase of 14 pounds from his April 2025 physical.
At 6 feet 3 inches tall, Trump’s body mass index measured 29.7, placing him just below the 30 threshold that medical guidelines classify as obese. Physicians recommended adjustments to diet, physical activity, and weight management.
Trump takes three medications: rosuvastatin and ezetimibe for cholesterol, and low-dose aspirin. His total cholesterol measured 143, down significantly from 223 in 2018, with doctors attributing the improvement to his current medications.
Physical Examination Results
The report documented minor bruising on Trump’s hands, which Barbabella explained as “minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking” and aspirin therapy. Trump exhibited slight lower-leg swelling from chronic venous insufficiency, a condition previously disclosed, though physicians noted improvement from the prior year.
Trump completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standard screening tool for cognitive impairment, and scored a perfect 30 out of 30, matching results from his 2025 and 2018 examinations.
Context and Significance
Barbabella wrote that Trump’s “demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being.” The examination marked the fourth publicly disclosed medical evaluation since Trump returned to office for his second term.
Trump, who turns 80 next month, was the oldest person ever elected president at the time of his election. Presidential health disclosures remain a matter of public interest, though no legal requirement mandates presidents release complete medical records.
