La Salud del Presidente Trump Según Su Médico: Un Examen Revelador

Donald Trump’s physician states that the president is in «excellent health» and is «fully fit» to serve as commander in chief after a medical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which showed the president’s body mass index (BMI) approaching the obesity range.

Detalles del Examen Médico

According to a report from Dr. Sean Barbabella, Trump underwent a CT scan and other heart imaging, alongside cancer screenings and various preventive assessments performed by 22 specialists.

After a three-hour visit, Trump, who is 79 years old, announced that everything checked out «PERFECTLY.» His weight recorded at 238 lb (108 kg), which is an increase of 14 lb since a medical exam in April 2025. Doctors offered guidance on diet, physical activity, and weight management, concluding that his «cognitive and physical performance are excellent.»

Índice de Masa Corporal (BMI)

Standing at 6’3″, Trump has a BMI of 29.7, with an index of 30 considered as obese. The report also noted minor bruising on Trump’s hands resulting from frequent handshaking, described as common irritation related to aspirin therapy. A recommendation was made to switch to low-dose aspirin.

Condición de Salud General

Last year, the White House disclosed that Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency—a common condition for older adults that causes blood pooling in the legs. The recent exam indicated slight lower leg swelling but noted improvements from the previous year.

Medical assessments revealed no abnormalities, indicating that Trump demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall health. His busy daily schedule, which includes high-level meetings and public engagements, is said to contribute positively to his overall well-being.

Resultados Cognitivos y Niveles de Colesterol

Trump was subject to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, scoring 30 out of 30, the same score recorded last year and in 2018. His cholesterol levels have improved significantly, with a total cholesterol reading of 143, down from 223 in 2018. He currently takes rosuvastatin (Crestor) to manage his LDL cholesterol and raise HDL levels, as well as ezetimibe (Zetia) for LDL control.

Transparencia sobre la Salud del Presidente

The exam, described by Trump as a six-month physical, was his fourth publicly disclosed medical examination since reconvening for a second term. Past administrations have released select results of presidential physicals, shedding some light on the health of the commander in chief. However, there is no legal obligation for presidents to disclose complete health records.

As Trump approaches his 80th birthday next month, he attempts to address public concerns over his age and stamina, often appearing with makeup covering bruises on his hands and showing visible swelling in his extremities. Despite this, he expresses feeling as good as he did fifty years ago, often referencing his fondness for fast food and limited exercise beyond golf outings.
