Donald Trump was declared in “exceptional health” following a medical evaluation, according to a memo released by the White House on Friday, with his “cardiac age” reportedly 14 years younger than his chronological age.
"Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance," Trump's physician Sean Barbabella said in a memo.

Trump also underwent preventive health screenings and received immunizations, including his annual flu shot and updated Covid-19 booster, ahead of upcoming international travel.
"His cardiac age - a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG - was found be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age," the memo read.
Trump, 79, became the oldest person to be inaugurated as US president in January and ranks as the second oldest to hold the office in American history.
Trump visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on Friday morning for a routine annual checkup, as well as a meeting and remarks with military personnel. The visit came six months after he underwent a comprehensive physical examination.
A White House memo released after Trump’s April exam noted that he is 6 feet 3 inches (190 cm) tall, weighs 224 pounds (102 kg), and has well-controlled high cholesterol. The memo highlighted both his overall health and his golf performance, as cited by Reuters.
Since his April exam, Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition often seen in older adults that can lead to leg swelling.
Trump’s health has come under scrutiny a year after former President Joe Biden ended his 2024 reelection bid amid questions about his fitness for office. During last year’s campaign, Trump contrasted himself with Biden, presenting himself as younger and in better physical condition.
Trump’s former physician, Harold Bornstein, recalled that during the 2015 presidential campaign, Trump dictated a statement, attributed to Bornstein, describing his health as “astonishingly excellent.”
Bornstein also said that during a 2019 visit to Walter Reed, Trump asked staff to sign nondisclosure agreements for the appointment, which was later revealed to be a colonoscopy, according to NBC News.
