President Donald Trump received a clean bill of health following a comprehensive medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to a report released Friday by his physician.
Dr. Sean Barbabella conducted the extensive three-hour examination on Tuesday, which included CT scans, cardiac imaging, cancer screenings, and evaluations from 22 medical specialists. Trump told reporters afterward that the evaluation went “perfectly.”
What the Examination Found
The 79-year-old president demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological health with no significant abnormal findings, Barbabella’s report stated. Trump weighed 238 pounds during the visit, a 14-pound increase from his April 2025 physical, placing his body mass index at 29.7-just below the 30 threshold that medical guidelines classify as obese.
Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, matching results from his 2025 and 2018 evaluations. His total cholesterol measured 143, down significantly from 223 in 2018.
Doctors documented minor bruising on Trump’s hands, attributing it to “minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking” and noting it as “a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.” Barbabella recommended switching to low-dose aspirin.
Existing Health Conditions
The White House disclosed last year that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, a common age-related condition causing blood to pool in the legs. This year’s examination showed slight lower-leg swelling, though physicians noted improvement since last year’s evaluation.
“His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being,” Barbabella wrote in the report.
Context and Precedent
This marks the fourth publicly disclosed medical evaluation since Trump began his second term as president. Trump turns 80 next month and was the oldest person ever elected president at the time of his 2024 election.
Trump’s predecessor, President Joe Biden, left office at age 82 after ending his 2024 reelection campaign amid concerns about his age and fitness for another term. Presidential health disclosures remain a matter of public interest, though no legal requirement mandates presidents release complete medical records.
