Trump's doctor reveals President's biological age after saying he's in 'excellent health' following exam
Donald Trump's doctor has revealed some of the details of the US president's recent medical check-up where he was given some guidance on what he should do to improve his health.
The 79-year-old is not really one to say something's going wrong, partially because of all the attacks he launched on his predecessor Joe Biden over his age, health and cognitive ability, even though people think they've started spotting Trump falling asleep at crucial moments.
The US president bragged recently about how he'd gone in for a six-month check-up at Walter Reed Military Medical Center and it had all gone 'PERFECTLY' and said he feels as good now as he did 50 years ago.
However, his doctor has shared some details from the medical examination and there's a mix of good and bad news.

The good news for the large orange man is that his cardiac age is 14 years younger than his 79 years on the planet, with Dr Sean Barbabella saying he also scored 30 out of 30 on a cognitive impairment test.
Medication that Trump is on has also significantly brought down his cholesterol over the past few years, as he's at 143 which is a major reduction from 223 back in 2018.
Trump takes rosuvastatin and ezetimibe to help lower his bad cholesterol.
Apparently the life of a president is also good for some aspects of physical health, as the doctor said: "His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall wellbeing."
It is a busy job, as Trump missed his son's wedding and depending on who you ask it was either due to 'circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America' or as his estranged niece Mary put it to 'spend the weekend at his golf club'.
Meanwhile, those marks on his hands people keep spotting and wondering about are 'minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking' and the doctor said they were 'a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy'.
Trump, who turns 80 next month, has been told to switch to a low-dose aspirin if he can.
As for the bad news, he's put on 14lbs compared to an examination he had back in April 2025, and his BMI is 29.7 which means he's just shy of the figure of 30 which would class him as 'obese'.
He's been given some guidance on diet and weight loss as a result.
The doctor also noted there was 'slight lower leg swelling' from the chronic venous insufficiency Trump was diagnosed with last year, a common condition that causes blood to pool in the legs.
However, the report says there's been 'improvement from last year' and Dr Barbabella said that Trump was overall in 'excellent health'.
