BMI: body mass index; CI: confidence interval; OR: odds ratio; TyG: triglyceride-glucose; NA: not applicable

All models were adjusted for age, sex, marital status, residence, educational level, smoking status, drinking status, history of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, dyslipidaemia, kidney disease, medication use for hypertension, medication use for diabetes, medication use for dyslipidaemia, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, HbA1c, and the eGFR

aTests for linear trends were performed by modelling the median value of each quantile to test ordered relations across quantiles of cumulative TyG-BMI
