President Donald Trump recently received a generally positive assessment during his routine health checkup, but his medical team advised him to focus on weight loss and dietary management.
According to reports from CNN and other outlets on May 29, Trump's physician, Sean Conley, stated in a health report released by the White House that "President Trump’s overall physical functions, including heart, lung, and neurological health, are in very good condition," adding that he is "fully fit to perform his duties as Commander-in-Chief and Head of State."
Medical professionals evaluated Trump's heart health to be approximately 14 years younger than his actual age. Symptoms of leg swelling due to chronic venous insufficiency, noted in last year's checkup, have reportedly improved.
Neurological tests indicated that his mental state, cranial nerve function, sensory responses, reflexes, gait, and balance were all normal. Notably, in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MCA), which screens for mild cognitive impairment and early dementia, he scored a perfect 30 out of 30.
However, the need for weight management was highlighted. This checkup revealed that Trump weighs about 108 kg (238 pounds), which is an increase of approximately 6 kg since his last health examination in April of the previous year. Consequently, his physician recommended ongoing weight loss and dietary adjustments.
Additionally, the medical team advised him to take low-dose aspirin. Trump has previously stated in interviews that he takes 325 mg of aspirin daily, which is higher than the typical recommended dose of 81 mg.
