The president is suffering from a “perceptibly stiffer and less fluid” gait following a series of injuries, and is experiencing a more frequent need to clear his throat or cough during public engagements, according to his physician, Kevin O’Connor.
And his exam found mild nerve damage in the president’s feet, prompting them to suggest he be fitted with orthotics.

Sounds more like symptoms to me.
In the paragraph you quoted, I don't seem them listing ANY diagnosis.
stiffness
need to clear throat
neuropathy

I'll throw out a guess and say they knew they had to report something. Can't just give the obviously declining geezer a total pass on everything and expect folk to believe it, so he has a "stiffening gait."
Which I'm sure he does. It's probably brought on by the larger condition they're glossing over.
If/when they have to remove him they can also reference back and say the "stiffening gait" was the beginning.

Going through the PDF as a non-professional, I'd say his cholesterol is TOO low and he may be starving his brain of needed cholesterol.
And the PDF does indeed list his conditions.
Sadly, the article leaves a lot to be desired.
Also odd his body temperature is EXACTLY 98.6!!!!!!!!!! Most elderly people I know have temps slightly below the norm.
And works out 5 days a week....LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure...me too

A slow process of allowing him to move aside without overtly appearing to ''give up''. He may have only weeks left as potus. So about a year, well within the parameters of speculation discussed around here a year ago.
Cholesterol is vitally important for brain function. While your brain represents about 2-3% of your total body weight, 25% of the cholesterol in your body is found in your brain, where it plays important roles in such things as membrane function,...
In fact, in a recent study available on the NIH Public Access site, researchers showed that in the elderly, the best memory function was observed in those with the highest levels of cholesterol.
