The White House said Trump "remains healthy and energetic without complaints," and pointed to his "repeated vigorous rally performances."

Trump’s body mass index, a measure of body weight based on height, was listed 30.4, putting him in the category of obese. The president's total cholesterol was 196 mg/dL, down from 223 the prior year. But his daily dosage of the drug rosuvastatin was increased to 40 milligrams daily.

Navy Cdr. Sean Conley, physician to the president, said at the time that there were "no findings of significance or changes to report on his physical exam, including the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth/gums, heart, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal, and neurologic systems."

The health report released in February did not indicate that Trump took a cognitive exam during his most recent checkup.
