Cumulative survival curves of mortality risks with respect to serum concentrations of galectin-3 after adjusting for galectin-3, VCAM-1, albumin, age, CRP, nPCR, and smoking during follow-up. (A) There was an association between higher concentration group of galectin-3 (>29.5 ng/mL) was associated with an incremental risk of all-cause mortality. (B) The association between higher galectin-3 concentrations and cardiovascular (CV) mortality was insignificant after multivariable adjustment. VCAM-1 = vascular cell adhesion molecule 1; CRP = C-reactive protein; nPCR = normalized protein catabolic rate.
