Trump's latest medical report confirms he remains in excellent health at 78

President Donald Trump has undergone his third medical checkup in just over a year, with results confirming he remains in excellent health. The 78-year-old, the oldest person to hold the US presidency, received a full assessment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in October 2024. During the visit, Trump underwent a CT scan of his heart and abdomen as part of a thorough examination. His physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, reported that the president scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on a neurological screening for cognitive function. The results also showed Trump’s weight at 238 pounds, with a resting heart rate of 73 beats per minute.

The White House doctor confirmed Trump is taking medication for cholesterol management and cardiac prevention. While he has chronic venous insufficiency—a non-life-threatening condition causing leg swelling—Barbabella stated it does not affect his overall fitness. The president is also up to date on all recommended immunisations and preventive screenings. In his official statement, Barbabella declared Trump fully capable of performing all duties as Commander-in-Chief without restrictions.

The latest medical report reaffirms Trump’s health status as robust for his age and role. His ongoing treatment for cholesterol and circulation issues remains under control, with no impact on his presidential responsibilities. The findings follow a pattern of regular checkups since his time in office.
