Trump, the oldest President to take the oath of office, was also advised to increase physical activity and lose weight after gaining 14 pounds in just over a year.

He underwent extensive physical and mental tests, according to the report, including an echocardiogram, an ultrasound of the carotid arteries, examination of the lungs and eyes, screenings for anxiety and depression, and blood tests.
Trump's cardiac age was also estimated to be 14 years younger than his chronological age.
Trump takes two medications, rosuvastatin and ezetimibe, to treat his history of high cholesterol, as well as daily aspirin to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Dr. Barbabella said the aspirin helps explain Trump’s noticeable bruises on his hands, which the report describes as "consistent with minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking" and “a common and benign effect” of the medication. The usual daily preventive aspirin dose is around 80 milligrams. President Trump previously took about four times that amount, or 325 milligrams, daily.
The report also said that “slight lower leg swelling was noted, with improvement from last year,” after the White House revealed last summer that such swelling was a result of a chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis. The condition occurs when the valves in the legs don’t function properly, causing blood to pool in the veins.
Concern over Trump’s mental acuity
President Trump’s cognitive health has been under increasing scrutiny as he approaches his 80th birthday—especially after former President Joe Biden faced widespread speculation about age-related decline while in office.
A separate Economist/YouGov poll released in April found that 48% of U.S. respondents believe that Trump is too old to be in the White House, and a Reuters/Ipsos poll in February found that 61% of Americans view Trump as growing erratic with age—including 30% of Republicans and 64% of independents.
Despite Trump's agreeing to release his medical records after rejecting the calls while on the campaign trail in 2024, the President has remained relatively tight-lipped about his health.
Presidents are not legally required to release their medical records and their medical care is always protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). But it has been a modern practice for presidents to release such information to the public, including the last six of Trump’s predecessors. The same Axios-Ipsos poll last year found that nearly three-quarters of Americans support a legal requirement for the sitting President to release their medical records.
