The White House revealed on Wednesday that US President Joe Biden’s doctor “does not see a need for the president to undergo a cognitive test because his daily performance proves his abilities,” according to an Al-Hurra correspondent.
Biden announced that the results of his annual medical examinations on Wednesday were good, and he even joked that doctors believe that he looks “much younger than his age” at a time when attention is focused on the issues of the 81-year-old president’s physical fitness and mental ability ahead of the presidential elections in November, according to a report. Published by Agence France-Presse.
The White House announced on Wednesday that 20 doctors participated in Biden’s routine medical examination at Walter Reed Hospital.
The White House said that a summary of the results of the examinations at Walter Reed Military Hospital near Washington will be published on Wednesday, followed by a detailed follow-up of the health of the oldest president in the history of the United States.
Doctors believe that he is “much younger than his age.” Biden jokes about his health
Biden told reporters, in response to a question about whether the medical examinations raised any concern, that doctors “see that I look much younger than my age,” adding, “Everything is good.”
Earlier Wednesday, Biden, who is expected to face former President Donald Trump (77 years old) in the November elections, headed by helicopter to the medical center that American presidents often go to. He left after approximately two and a half hours in a convoy of cars.
Biden’s routine medical examination comes as voters’ concerns increase about the president’s age, who will be 86 at the end of his second term if he wins the next presidential elections.
In the year of the presidential elections.. “Biden’s age” is at the forefront
Although US President Joe Biden confirmed that his “memory is good,” the report issued by Special Prosecutor Robert Hoare once again shed light on the “weak memory” of the president, who is seeking re-election before the end of this year.
Biden and Trump accuse each other of mental decline. Nikki Haley (52 years old), Trump’s latest competitor for the Republican Party’s nomination to run in the presidential elections, said that the two men are too old for someone to assume the presidency of the United States and should undergo cognitive tests, according to Reuters.
Doctors announced after Biden’s examination last year that he was in good health and “qualified for the position.” The examination included removing a skin tumor from his chest and confirming that he had completely recovered from the symptoms of Covid-19 after contracting the virus, in 2022.

The White House announced Summary For test results at Walter Reed Military Hospital near Washington, Wednesday.
The results show that President Biden “feels well, this year’s medical examination revealed no new concerns, and he remains fit to perform duty and fully carry out all responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.”
The results report, signed by the president’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, reveals that Biden is “healthy, active and strong.”
Previous medical history
Dr. O’Connor indicated that a comprehensive review of Biden’s health was conducted, as it was found that he had recovered from “basal cell carcinoma” that was removed last year, as there was no need for further treatment.
He stated that the previous surgical interventions performed on the president regarding the sinuses had an effective effect on improving sleep efficiency, if there were symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, which dates back to 2008.
He pointed out that the president had undergone a quick, specialized dental operation last year, which did not have any complications.

The report shows that President Biden, who has been married for 47 years, does not use any tobacco products, does not drink alcohol, and exercises five days a week.
His height is 183 cm, his weight is 81 kg, his body mass is 24.1, and his pulse rate at the time of examination was 132/78.
The report noted that he had no slowness of movement or hesitation, with a slight decrease in the sensation of heat or cold in both feet.
All laboratory test results conducted on Biden were normal, as no signs of anemia or high diabetes appeared, and the levels of vitamins and proteins were normal, according to the report.
The report identified ten different matters in which Biden’s health is being dealt with by specialist doctors, which include:
* Sleep Apnea. The report described Biden’s condition as stable.
* Atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is described as a stable condition that is being monitored medically and receiving treatment for it.
* Hyperlipidemia, which is currently stable, and some of its indicators remain low.
* Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), which is treated through the use of medications that reduce the effect of stomach acids on the esophagus. Doctors indicate that this reflux is one of the causes of Biden’s cough.
* Seasonal allergies, which are treated by using medications that reduce the effects of allergies. His condition also improved after sinus surgeries.
* Spondylosis, which affects President Biden’s gait and makes it stiff, and is treated through physical therapy sessions.
* Peripheral neuropathy, which causes a decrease in the feeling of heat or cold in the extremities, indicating that the reason most closely related to this matter is diabetes, although Biden does not have it, and other causes may include alcoholism. But Biden does not drink alcohol, and does not suffer from thyroid disease.
* Skin Cancer. Biden does not suffer from skin cancer, but he is being closely monitored as he has spent a long time of his life in the sun, and local “basal cell carcinoma” has been removed in previous surgeries.
* Routine eye examination, as the president’s contact lens prescriptions are updated, with no signs of retinal or lens impairment.
* Routine dental examination, as the X-ray images did not show any problems that require immediate intervention.
