During 2004 to 2007 we recorded the occurrence of physicians' diagnostic codes for a select number of comorbidities commonly associated with {AS} and cardiovascular disease and risk factors. We obtained standardized morbidity-rate ratios ({SMRs}) by dividing the observed morbidity rate in {AS} patients by the expected rate based on the corresponding rate of the disease in the general population of the county seeking health care. {RESULTS}: The highest {SMRs} were found for uveitis (34.35, 95\% confidence interval [95\% {CI}] 28.55-40.98) and inflammatory bowel disease (9.28, 95\% {CI} 7.07-11.97). Also, we found increased {SMRs} for ischemic heart diseases (2.20, 95\% {CI} 1.77-2.70), hypertension (1.98, 95\% {CI} 1.72-2.28), and diabetes mellitus (1.41, 95\% {CI} 1.10-1.78). Furthermore, the {SMRs} for psoriasis, osteoporosis, and atrioventricular blocks were also statistically significantly elevated. {CONCLUSION}: Inflammatory diseases affecting the eye and the digestive system were the most notable comorbidities in {AS} patients, but the rate for cardiovascular disease was also high. Using comprehensive longitudinal population-based register data is a promising tool to  evaluate the excess consultation rate and total burden of rheumatic disease on patients and society.},
