The results of two piecewise linear regression model between non-HDL-C and cause-specific mortality.

	All-cause mortality HR (95% CI) P-value	Cardiovascular mortality HR (95% CI) P-value
Cut-off value	158	190
< Cut-off value	0.94 (0.92, 0.96) <0.001	0.98 (0.95, 1.02) 0.314
≥Cut-off value	1.03 (1.01, 1.05) 0.013	1.09 (1.05, 1.14) <0.001
P for log likelihood ratio test	<0.001	0.002

HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.

The two piecewise linear regression models were adjusted for age, gender, race, smoking, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, and medicine use (antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic agents, and lipid-lowering drugs).
