Subgroup forest plot for the association between MetS score (per 1-point) and incident CVD. P values for interaction: age 0.087, sex 0.815, CKM stage 0.188. In the diabetes subgroup, the association was stronger among participants with diabetes (HR: 1.439, 95% CI: 1.251–1.656) than without (HR: 1.172, 95% CI: 1.104–1.244; P for interaction reported in supplementary material).
