Sensitivity analyses for the association of changes in TyG index from 2006 to 2010 with cardiovascular disease and its subtypes. CVD cardiovascular disease, MI myocardial infarction, TyG index triglyceride-glucose index. 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. A Taking non-CVD related death as competing risk event rather than censoring. B Restricted analysis was excluded those with abnormal FBG (≥ 7.0 mmol/L) or abnormal TG level (≥ 1.7 mmol/L) at baseline (n = 21,901). C. Excluded person time and incident CVD cases from the first 2 years of follow-up (n = 1162)
