A total of 15 595 individuals without LCPD were selected randomly from among the Swedish general population, with matching according to year of birth, age, gender, and region of residence. Cox proportional-hazard regression analyses, with adjustment for socioeconomic index, were used to estimate relative risks.

There were statistically significantly higher risks for blood diseases, including anemias and coagulation defects (HR: 1.41 [95% CI: 1.07\u20131.86]), which were more pronounced among subjects &amp;gt;30 years of age at the follow-up (HR: 2.70 [95% CI: 1.50\u20134.84]). Patients also had statistically significantly higher risks of hypertensive disease (HR: 2.97 [95% CI: 1.87\u20134.72]) and nutritional anemia (HR: 2.92 [95% CI: 1.58\u20135.40]).
