WASHINGTON − Donald Trump, the second-oldest president ever to serve, “remains in excellent health,” thanks to an “active lifestyle” including “frequent victories in golf events,” the White House physician wrote in a memo released Sunday after Trump’s annual physical exam.
According to the results of the exam, which took several hours on Friday, Trump is in good physical and mental health.
“His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being,” Sean Barbabella, the physician to the president, wrote. Those activities include daily meetings, press appearances, and golf victories, Barbabella wrote.

Barbabella, a former Navy doctor, was named Trump’s official physician last month.
At 6 feet 3 inches and 224 pounds, Trump is overweight, according to the Body Mass Index. Trump golfs frequently, but famously eats a fast food-heavy diet. During his first term in office, the White House physician recommended he try to eat fewer carbohydrates and fat − and exercise more.
Trump scored 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test used to detect signs of dementia and cognitive impairment. Trump told reporters on Friday after taking the test, “I got every answer right.”
Trump will turn 79 in June. When he took office in January, he became the oldest president to be sworn in – five months older than former President Joe Biden was when he was sworn in at 78 years and two months old in 2021.
Trump, who survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, during a 2024 election rally, with the bullet grazing his ear, has scarring “on the right ear from a gunshot wound,” according to the memo.
