Fig. 3From: The association between TyG and all-cause/non-cardiovascular mortality in general patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is modified by age: results from the cohort study of NHANES 1999–2018Association between TyG and all-cause/non-cardiovascular mortality. Models for all-cause mortality were adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, BMI, CHF, CAD, albumin, LDL-C, eGFR, UACR, Insulin treatment, and metformin. In total cohort, compared with a TyG of 9.01, patients with a TyG ≥ 9.32 had a higher risk of all-cause mortality; there was a linear association between TyG and all-cause death in the younger group; while there was no significant association between TyG and all-cause death in the older group. Models for non-cardiovascular mortality were adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, educational level, BMI, CHF, albumin, eGFR, insulin treatment, and metformin. In total cohort, compared with a TyG of 9.10, patients with a TyG ≥ 9.48 had a higher risk of non-cardiovascular mortality; there was a linear association between TyG and non-cardiovascular death in the younger group; while there was no significant association between TyG and non-cardiovascular death in the older groupBack to article page
