On April 13, 2025, President Donald Trump, aged 78, underwent a comprehensive physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The results, released by White House physician Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, indicated that Trump is in “excellent health” and “fully fit” to serve as President. Notably, he achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a test designed to detect early signs of cognitive impairment
The MoCA evaluates various cognitive domains, including memory, attention, language, and executive functions. Tasks may involve recalling a list of words, identifying animals, and drawing figures. Trump has previously highlighted his performance on this test, recalling the successful repetition of a sequence of words such as “person, woman, man, camera, TV”
In addition to the cognitive assessment, the medical report detailed Trump’s overall physical health. His weight was recorded at 224 pounds, reflecting a 20-pound loss since his last presidential physical in 2020. His cholesterol levels have improved to 140, aided by medications like rosuvastatin and ezetimibe. Blood pressure readings were slightly elevated at 128/74. The report also noted that Trump maintains an active lifestyle, including frequent golf games, and manages conditions such as rosacea with topical treatments
The comprehensive nature of this health update aims to address public interest in the President’s fitness for office, especially given his age. The release of these results marks the most detailed health disclosure since Trump’s return to the White House in January.
