The White House on Sunday released President Trump’s health report, which declares that Mr. Trump “is fully fit to execute the duties” of the presidency while laying out a few conditions, such as high cholesterol, for which he has been treated and the report describes as “well controlled.”
The report, written by the president’s physician, Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, says that Mr. Trump “remains in excellent health” and “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health.” It refers to Mr. Trump’s “frequent victories in golf events” as an example of his “active lifestyle” contributing to his physical and mental well-being.
The report also notes that Mr. Trump has been treated for high cholesterol, skin damages from frequent sun exposure, seasonal allergies and diverticulosis, a condition in which small pouches, called diverticula, form in the wall of the colon. He has also had cataract surgery for both of his eyes and has had a benign colon polyp, according to the report.
Mr. Trump, 78, underwent cognitive and cardiology tests during a visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland on Friday. He told reporters he felt he was in “good shape” and had a “good heart.”

The White House released the results of President Trump’s annual physical examination on Sunday.
The health report states that Mr. Trump has gone through “a comprehensive neurological examination” that revealed no abnormalities in cognitive function or his mental state. It says he scored 30 out of 30 points for the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test for mental capacity in which subjects are asked to do simple tasks such as draw a clock that marks a certain time or repeat sentences that are read to them. A score of 25 or less is indicative of cognitive impairment.
