How does the Reduced Level Requirement affix interact with other gear?

Does an item with its level requirement reduced only affect the item with the affix, or does it affect all items?

It affects only the level requirement of the item its on, and its already factored in when you hover over the item. So if you see a level 45 weapon with -15 level requirements, its actually originally a level 60 weapon.

yx's answer is entirely correct, but this sale post demonstrates its potential for twinks.
