The White House has released a medical report describing President Donald Trump's health as excellent, while also outlining recommendations related to physical activity, diet, and weight management.

The health of a sitting U.S. president is a subject of public interest, particularly when it comes to the individual's ability to carry out the responsibilities of the office.

On May 29, 2026, the White House released a medical report following President Donald Trump's examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center earlier that week. The report, prepared by White House physician Captain Sean Barbabella, concluded that Trump remained in excellent health and was fit to perform his presidential duties.

The findings provided an update on the president's physical condition, examination results, and ongoing preventive care recommendations.

What the White House Medical Report Says

According to the report, Trump underwent a comprehensive medical evaluation on May 26. The assessment included a review of diagnostic studies, laboratory testing, and consultations with medical specialists.

Dr. Barbabella stated that the president demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological function, along with good overall physical performance.

The report also concluded that Trump was fit to continue carrying out the responsibilities of commander-in-chief and head of state.

These findings represent the assessment of the president's medical team following the examination.

Details About Trump's Physical Examination

The report listed Trump's age as 79 and his weight as 238 pounds. This represented an increase of 14 pounds compared with the 224 pounds recorded during his April 2025 physical examination.

The physician recommended continued attention to diet, increased physical activity, and further weight management as part of the president's preventive care.

The report also noted slight swelling in the lower legs, which the physician said had improved compared with the previous year.

In addition, bruising on the president's hands was attributed in the report to frequent handshaking and aspirin use. These observations were included alongside the physician's overall positive assessment.

What the Report Says About Cognitive Health

The medical report also addressed Trump's cognitive assessment.

According to the physician, the president scored 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a screening tool commonly used to identify potential signs of cognitive impairment.
