Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios for (A) cardiovascular diseases (B) stroke (C) myocardial infarction based on restricted cubic spines with 5 knots at 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles of changes in TyG index. HR hazard ratio, SD standard deviation, TyG triglyceride-glucose. Red line represent references for hazard ratios, and red area represent 95% confidence interval. Model was adjusted for age, sex, TyG index, education, income, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, antidiabetic agents, lipid-lowering agents, antihypertensive agents, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein at baseline
