  1. aAdjustment for age, sex, household income, and behavioral factors (alcohol consumption, smoking status, and physical activity)
  2. bAdjustment for age, sex, household income, behavioral factors, and cardiometabolic factors (systolic blood pressure, body mass index, lipid-lowering medication use, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol)
  3. CVD: cardiovascular disease; HR: hazard ratio; TyG index: triglyceride-glucose index
  4. Primary cardiovascular event refers to hospitalization due to major cardiovascular disease (composite of either ischemic heart disease, stroke, or heart failure)
