As President Donald Trump nears his 80th birthday, the White House has declared him in 'excellent health,' following a physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. However, Dr. Jesse Morse, a board-certified physician, has raised concerns about Trump's health metrics. With a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 29.7, Trump is classified as 'overweight, likely obese.' Dr. Morse also pointed out elevated homocysteine levels at 14.6, which could indicate issues with methylation and vitamin absorption. Additionally, Trump's Vitamin B12 level of 355 is considered low, alongside a Vitamin D level of 45, which could impact immune function. While the official report notes Trump’s cardiac age is 14 years younger than his actual age and that he scored perfectly on a cognitive assessment, Dr. Morse questions the legitimacy of the reported health numbers, suggesting they may have been altered for public release. Trump's medical regimen includes medications for high cholesterol and daily aspirin to mitigate heart attack risks.
