What's new! Decreased lymphocyte levels may increase the risk of all-cause death!

Recently, in a research report published in the International Journal of Canadian Medical Association Journal, scientists from the University of Copenhagen found that low-level lymphocytes, or lymphadenia, may be an early warning of future diseases, while low lymph counts are associated with a 60% increase in the risk of all-cause mortality Image source: lumen learning Researcher Stig According to Dr Bojesen, our research shows that the risk of all-cause death in patients with lymphocytopenia will increase, which has nothing to do with other risk factors leading to all-cause death, such as age and other factors; through routine blood testing, we can find that lymphocytopenia, because the value of lymphocytopenia as an indicator of the future health of the body is not clear, usually patients will not be asked Please check further In this study, the researchers analyzed 108135 participants aged 20-100 who were recruited into the general population research program of Copenhagen from 2003 to 2015 The results showed that the low level of lymphocyte count was related to an increase of 1.6 times of the risk of all-cause death, and the low level of lymphocyte was also related to cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and susceptibility Infection was associated with an increased risk of death from other causes (1.5-2.8 times), with 10372 participants dying during the study period.
