President Donald Trump’s annual physical results have been released by the White House, revealing he is in “excellent” health.

Trump completed his first physical of his second term on Friday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland by Dr. Sean Barbabella. The exam took five hours and Trump underwent what he described as “every test you can imagine.”

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbabella wrote in his report.

The report of Trump’s “excellent” cognitive health comes after the president bragged that he “got every answer right” on the cognitive tests following his exam Friday. Trump is the oldest person to be inaugurated as president at 78 years old.

”Overall, I felt I was in very good shape,” Trump said. “A good heart, a good soul, a very good soul.”

This comes after both Trump and former President Joe Biden faced intense scrutiny over their mental competencies during the 2024 presidential race. Biden ultimately dropped out over concerns following a disastrous debate performance.

Barbabella also found Trump stands at six feet and three inches and weighs 224 pounds. That places him at a body mass index score of 28, which is considered “overweight.” Trump has a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute, which is considered normal for an adult man, according to the American Heart Association.

His blood pressure is 128/74, which is considered elevated but not yet high blood pressure, the American Heart Association says.

The doctor also noted Trump’s ear, nose and throat exam revealed “no significant abnormalities,” barring scaring on his right ear from the assassination attempt against him in July.

The president is currently taking two medications to control his cholesterol levels: rosuvastatin and ezetimibe. His total cholesterol level is 140 mg/dl, which is within the “optimal” range, according to the report. His triglycerides, HDL (”good” cholesterol) and LDL (”bad” cholesterol) are also within normal and optimal range.

Trump is also taking aspirin and using mometasone cream for a skin condition.

The president’s past medical history also includes “well-controlled” high LDL levels, past COVID-19 infection and a “benign colon polyp.”
