Triglyceride-glucose related indices as predictors for major adverse cardiovascular events and overall mortality in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients

Figure 3 Restricted cubic spline analysis of triglyceride glucose-waist height ratio and triglyceride glucose-waist circumference to estimate the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and total mortality. The hazard ratios shown are adjusted for Model 3, including sex, race, age, education, history of cardiovascular disease, previous hypertension and previous hyperlipidemia systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, duration of diabetes, proteinuria, heart failure, depression, smoking, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, estimated glomerular filtration rate, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, insulins, aspirin, statins and cholesterol absorption inhibitors. TyG: Triglyceride glucose; WHtR: Waist height ratio; WC: Waist circumference; MACEs: Major adverse cardiovascular events.
