He scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standard screening tool for cognitive impairment, consistent with his previous results.His cholesterol levels have improved significantly with medication, including rosuvastatin and ezetimibe, which help manage LDL cholesterol.Trump’s weight was recorded at 238 pounds, an increase of 14 pounds since a previous exam, resulting in a body mass index of 29.7, close to the obesity threshold.Doctors advised improvements in diet, physical activity, and weight management.The report also noted minor bruising on his hands attributed to frequent handshaking and aspirin therapy, which was described as benign.

Slight lower leg swelling was observed but showed improvement compared to the previous year, linked to chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition among older adults.Overall, his doctors concluded that his cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general health were strong.The report highlighted that his demanding schedule and regular public engagements contribute positively to his wellbeing.The disclosure comes amid ongoing public scrutiny of presidential health transparency and discussions about age and fitness for office.
