  1. TyG: triglyceride-glucose
  2. aCalculated as CIFt=10 × 1000, where the predicted 10-year CIF (cumulative incidence function) of CVD was estimated from the flexible parametric survival models, which was standardized to the baseline variable (covariates in Model 3 for baseline and mean TyG index, and covariates in Model 4 for TyG index variability)
  3. bCalculated as the difference between the predicted incidence per 1000 population over 10 years across the baseline, mean, and variability of TyG index tertiles
