  1. eGFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation; unit of eGFR: ml/minute/1.73 m2; median value of the TyG index: 8.6
  2. Age, sex, residence, marriage, education level, BMI level, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, and nonHDL cholesterol were adjusted
  3. HR hazard ratio, CI, confidence interval, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, TyG triglyceride-glucose index, HDL high density lipoprotein
