U.S. President Donald Trump, 79, was assessed to be maintaining overall good health in a routine medical exam. The medical team, however, recommended weight loss and dietary management.
According to CNN and others on the 29th (local time), Sean Bababera, Trump's physician, said in a medical exam report released by the White House that "President Trump is maintaining excellent health across overall bodily functions, including the heart, lungs and nervous system," adding he is "fully fit to perform all duties as commander in chief and head of state."
According to the report, Trump's heart age was also analyzed to be about 14 years younger than his actual age. Leg swelling caused by chronic venous insufficiency also improved compared with last year.
Comprehensive neurological testing also found that "mental status is normal, cranial nerve function is intact, and sensation, reflexes, gait and balance are all normal."
Trump also scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), which evaluates for mild cognitive impairment and early dementia.
The physician nevertheless recommended ongoing weight loss and dietary management. The exam found Trump's weight to be about 108 kg (238 pounds), up about 6 kg from the April exam last year (224 pounds, 102 kg).
The medical team also recommended that Trump take low-dose aspirin. Earlier, Trump said he took 325 mg of aspirin daily, exceeding the recommended daily amount of 81 mg.
