(Donald Trump) attends various events and meetings every day, being extremely busy, and his long-term habit of eating fast food has led him to drink up to 12 cans of Coca-Cola in a day. No wonder people are worried about his health.

Little did they know, the White House recently released a latest health check report showing that despite being obese, all his numerical values were good, and he didn't have common conditions such as high blood sugar or fatty liver, leaving the doctors exclaiming, "Hard to explain with common sense," and analyzing five possible reasons behind it.

Gastroenterologist Dr. Chien Cheng-Hung pointed out that Donald Trump's health check results showed issues such as obesity, high cholesterol, diverticulosis of the colon, polyps of the colon, and cataracts (already operated on), but he takes two cholesterol-lowering drugs and aspirin daily to prevent cardiovascular disease.

In fact, at 190 cm tall and weighing 101 kg, with a BMI of 30, which is considered obese, it's not surprising for someone of his age (78 years old) to have high cholesterol, diverticulosis of the colon, and polyps of the colon, given his long-time preference for fast food like hamburgers and fries, and his fondness for diet cola, drinking up to 12 cans a day. However, what surprised Dr. Chien the most was that his abdominal ultrasound was completely normal; not only was his liver function fine (AST 28, ALT 41), but he also didn't have fatty liver!

According to American epidemiological surveys, among obese adults with a BMI greater than 30, 75% have fatty liver, and 55% have high blood sugar. Only 12% of them have neither. Surprisingly, not only does Trump not have fatty liver, but his blood sugar levels are also normal (HbA1c 5.2, fasting blood glucose 89.7), making Dr. Chien marvel, "Rare, hard to explain with common sense!"

Therefore, Dr. Chien also summarized the following five conclusions based on Trump's health check data:

1. High cholesterol can be controlled by using two types of cholesterol-lowering drugs. Trump added a second cholesterol-lowering drug after 2020. This shows that patients with poor lipid control should not refuse to take more medicine, "Take the medicine if you need to!"

2. Cholesterol-lowering drugs do not necessarily cause abnormal liver function, as Trump's liver function is very normal.

3. The White House doctor recommends that patients with colonic diverticulosis or colonic polyps should undergo follow-up checks in three years.

4. Obese people should actively lose weight. Trump has lost 9 kilograms over the past five years, which is beneficial for controlling blood sugar and eliminating fatty liver.

5. Trump has received pneumococcal vaccine and herpes zoster vaccine. People with hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol, or those with high work and life stress, are advised to get the herpes zoster vaccine.
