The White House released the new medical report of US President Donald Trump on Friday. Trump, who will turn 80 in 14 days, is in excellent health.
According to the medical report, Trump is currently taking a total of three medicines for cholesterol and heart. Of these, two medicines, ‘Rosuvastatin’ and ‘Ezetimibe’ are for cholesterol control. At the same time, a low-dose ‘aspirin’ is being given to prevent heart related diseases.
White House doctor Shawn P. Barbabella said that Trump’s health is excellent and he is completely fit to perform the responsibilities of the presidency. The report also said that his cardiac, lung and neurological health are strong.
22 expert doctors examined Trump
This medical checkup of Trump took place on Tuesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. According to the White House, 22 specialist doctors examined him during this period. This included CT scan, heart imaging, cancer screening and many preventive tests.
The report said that Trump’s cognitive and physical performance is excellent. The doctor also wrote that Trump’s busy schedule, frequent meetings, public events and physical activities support his overall health.
Doctor advised to lose weight
According to the medical report, Trump’s weight is now 238 pounds i.e. about 108 kg. In his last medical examination in April 2025, his weight was 224 pounds i.e. about 101.6 kg. Trump’s height is described as 6 feet 3 inches.
Dr. Barbabella has advised Trump to lose weight, adopt a healthy diet and do more physical activity. The report said that he was also given preventive counseling regarding cardiovascular health and weight loss.
Marks on hands caused by repeatedly shaking hands with people
Questions have been raised for the last several months regarding the marks visible on Trump’s hands. This has also been clarified in the medical report. According to Dr. Barbabella, due to repeatedly shaking hands with people and taking aspirin, he is getting light marks on his hands.
However, some independent doctors have previously questioned this claim. He said that the marks were more visible on Trump’s left hand, whereas he works with his right hand.
The report also said that Trump had mild swelling in his lower legs, which had improved compared to last year. However, not much information was given about it.
Questions were being raised for the last several months regarding the marks visible on Trump’s hands. Now doctors have explained the reason for this.
Trump among the oldest leaders to hold the presidency
Donald Trump will turn 80 on June 14. He is among the oldest leaders to hold the office of President in American history. In the last one year, there has been constant discussion about swelling in his legs, appearing sleepy in some programs and rashes on his neck.
The White House has earlier told that Trump has the problem of ‘chronic venous insufficiency’. This is a common age-related disease, in which blood circulation in the legs is affected. Regarding the rash seen on his neck in March, it was also said that it was due to skin treatment.
Meanwhile, Trump and his aides continue to claim that he has no serious health problems. Trump has always described his stamina and mental ability as an important part of his public image.
Marks were also seen on President Trump’s neck several times earlier.
‘Cardiac age’ also mentioned in medical report
Another unusual item was included in the White House medical report. Dr. Barbabella claimed that based on the electrocardiogram, Trump’s ‘cardiac age’ (ie the actual age of the heart) is 14 years less than his real age. Some independent doctors described its inclusion in the medical report as unusual.
At the same time, after the checkup on Tuesday, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, “My 6-month physical was completed at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything turned out to be perfect.”
However, many doctors raised questions on the claim of 6 months physical. Harvard Medical School professor and doctor Ishani Ganguly said that usually a full physical test is done once a year. The six-month follow-up is not usually called a physical.
