US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he underwent an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
“It was perfect,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Tokyo, according to a Reuters report.
Trump, 79, was the oldest person to be inaugurated as US president when he began his second term in January, and is the second-oldest person to ever serve as US president.
Earlier this month, Trump’s doctor said he was found to be in “exceptional health” after a medical examination.
“Trump remains in exceptional health, showing strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and physical performance,” Trump’s doctor, Sean Barbabella, said in a memo on Oct. 11, according to a Reuters report.
The report also revealed that Trump has undergone immunizations as well as preventive health check-ups, including an annual flu shot and an updated COVID-19 vaccination, to prepare for his international trip this month.
The US president is currently in Japan.
Trump had another medical check-up in April, after which the White House released a report stating that the US president is 3 inches (190 cm) tall, weighs 102 kg and has well-controlled high cholesterol.
Health scares
In July of this year, Trump had swelling in his lower limbs and also bruises on his right hand, the White House revealed.
There were photos of the US president with swollen angles and makeup covering the affected part of his hand.
Barbabella then revealed that the swelling in his legs was caused by a condition called “chronic venous insufficiency”, a common and benign condition in people aged 70+.
