What is "Long COVID" and how was it proved that all participants in the study "have" it?

Not sure why this is downvoted. I am not qualified to read the paper but I have the same question. My impression was that "long covid" was self reported and there is no way to medically confirm if someone is actually has "long covid"

Long covid is ongoing chronic illness symptoms following a covid infection, including but not limited to fatigue, heart problem, lung problems, brain fog, and auto-immune problems.

My guess is they corrected for the # of people reporting these symptoms before covid happened.

But I didn't read the article.
