United States President Donald Trump has been declared to be in excellent health following a routine medical examination, although his physician recommended further weight reduction and increased physical activity.
According to a medical report released on Friday, Trump’s personal physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, stated that the president continues to demonstrate strong heart, lung, neurological, and overall physical health.
The report noted that preventive health advice was given, including recommendations on diet, regular exercise, continued weight management, and the use of a low-dose aspirin for cardiovascular protection.
The medical evaluation was conducted at Walter Reed Medical Center near Washington and included a series of physical examinations and diagnostic tests. The physician concluded that Trump remains fully capable of carrying out his responsibilities as President and Commander-in-Chief.
The report revealed that Trump, who is approaching his 80th birthday, currently takes medications to manage cholesterol levels as well as aspirin for heart health. His weight was recorded at 238 pounds (108 kilograms), an increase from the 224 pounds (101.6 kilograms) reported during his previous annual examination.
Addressing recent public speculation about bruises visible on his hands, the physician explained that the marks were consistent with minor tissue irritation caused by frequent handshaking while taking aspirin, which can increase bruising.
Reacting to the results, Trump described the examination as successful, saying it went perfectly.
The medical assessment comes amid ongoing public interest in the president’s health as he continues his second term in office.
