The White House finally released Donald Trumps long-awaited medical report late Friday night, and the 79-year-old president appears to have achieved something close to biological perfection.
According to his physician, Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on a cognitive assessment, posted cholesterol numbers that would make many younger Americans jealous, and even boasts a heart that is supposedly 14 years younger than the rest of him.
After days of criticism over the White Houses refusal to release the results of Trumps latest physical, physician Capt. Sean Barbabella published a three-page memo declaring the president remains in excellent health and is fully fit to serve as commander-in-chief.
Barbabella wrote that Trumps cardiac function was normal and that an Al-enhanced electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis estimated his cardiac age, an established measure of cardiovascular vitality, to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age. Ultimately, he concluded that the president remains fully fit to carry out the duties of office.
The glowing assessment is unlikely to end questions about Trumps health.

Those numbers had to have been stolen from the records of a 24-year-old pro football player.

However, the healthiest 80 year olds are not overweight, regularly nodding off when sitting and diagnosed with CVI.

(61,134 posts)Even in the first term we were told he was taking statins which would account for the cholesterol numbers being where they are. I would assume that those numbers don't reflect the same level of health as they would in younger person who does not need statins.
I don't understand how he can have chronic venus insufficiency, CVI, which would seem to negatively impact heart health and have a heart that is very healthy for his age. This even though he does not seem to exercise. ( All I know of CVI is from articles explaining it when the WH said he had it.)
