Results of President Joe Biden’s annual physical Wednesday showed “no new concerns” and found that “he continues to be fit for duty” and able to execute his responsibilities “without any exceptions or accommodations.”

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the physician to the president, wrote in a memo made public Wednesday afternoon that Biden is “a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit” to serve as president.
The most notable change in the president’s health from the last physical made public in February 2023 was the “incorporation of a Positive Airwarit Pressure (PAP)” machine into Biden’s sleeping routine to address his symptoms of sleep apnea, the memo said.
Biden also had a basal cell carcinoma skin lesion removed in March, and a root canal procedure in June.
Biden’s positive annual physical results come as many Americans have expressed concern about his ability to serve as president due to his age, with 67% of respondents in a recent Quinnipiac University poll saying he is “too old to effectively serve another term.”
