At 79, Donald Trump underwent a full medical exam in April 2025, with his physician Dr. Sean Barbabella declaring him in “excellent health” and fit to serve. Since 2020, Trump has lost 20 to 30 pounds, weighing 224 pounds with normal blood pressure, heart rate, and lab results. He scored a perfect 30/30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which screens for dementia.
The exam revealed minor issues like chronic venous insufficiency causing leg swelling and diverticulosis found during a 2024 colonoscopy. He also had successful cataract surgery. His vaccinations are current, and he takes aspirin and cholesterol medication. Some hand bruising was linked to aspirin use and frequent handshakes.
Trump promotes fitness through a low-carb diet, regular golfing, and reviving the Presidential Fitness Test. Despite this, public concern remains over cognitive health due to moments of confusion and forgetfulness, though no official diagnosis has been made.
