The results of American President Donald Trump’s physical examination shows the 78-year-old to be “fully fit”.

Despite being a fast food lover, his “active lifestyle” is said to “contribute significantly” to his well-being.

In a report published today, Trump’s doctor, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, said he is “fully fit to execute the duties of Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”

The examination is the first Trump has undergone during his second term as president.

Barbabella said the president, who turns 79 in June, has dropped from 244 pounds to 224 pounds since his last physical in 2020.

The Mirror reports that the exam summary noted that Trump previously had cataract surgery on both eyes, but the report did not include a date or dates.

A common procedure among ageing people, the surgery typically involves removing a cloudy eye lens and replacing it with an artificial lens to help clear up vision.

In July 2024, according to the report, Trump had a colonoscopy that found a benign polyp and the condition called diverticulosis. It’s a common condition in which the walls of the intestine weaken with age. It can lead to inflammation, though most people with it never experience any problems.

Dr Barbabella wrote that Trump remains in “excellent health” with “robust” cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and general physical function.”

The doctor said Trump’s days include participating in multiple meetings, public appearances, media availabilities and “frequent victories in golf events.”

Trump is an avid golfer who said he recently won tournaments played at clubs he owns in Florida.

Trump’s cholesterol levels have improved over time, helped by the medications rosuvastatin and ezetimibe. At his physical in January 2018, his total cholesterol was 223. In early 2019, the reading came in at 196 and it stood at 167 in 2020. Today it is 140. Ideally, total cholesterol should be less than 200.

His blood pressure was 128 over 74. That is considered elevated, and people in that situation are likely to develop high blood pressure unless steps are taken to control the condition.

Trump has a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute, in line with previous tests. A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 beats to 100 beats per minute, and generally, a lower rate implies better cardiovascular fitness. Trump also takes aspirin, which can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
