The meta-analysis published by Gill Schierhout and colleagues reported an increased relative risk of premature death in individuals infected with HTLV-1 compared with individuals not infected with HTLV-1 (RR 1·57, 95% CI 1·37–1·80). This risk was independent of adult T-cell leukaemia-lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM), also called tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP), the two well known diseases associated with HTLV-1. In their systematic search, the authors identified a broader number of illnesses that were significantly more prevalent in individuals infected with HTLV-1 and that could contribute to the poorer survival of these individuals.

HTLV-1感染和健康状况。

Gill Schierhout及其同事发表的荟萃分析报告称，与未感染HTLV-1的个体相比，感染HTLV-1的个体的过早死亡的相对风险增加了（RR 1·57，95％CI 1·37-1·80 ）。这种风险独立于成人T细胞白血病淋巴瘤（ATL）和HTLV-1相关性脊髓病（HAM），也称为热带痉挛性轻瘫（TSP），这是与HTLV-1相关的两种众所周知的疾病。在他们的系统研究中，作者发现了许多疾病，这些疾病在感染HTLV-1的个体中明显更为普遍，并且可能导致这些个体的生存能力较差。
