The dose–response associations between RC and cardiovascular outcomes for the whole cohort. Restricted cubic splines displaying the lnHRs of cardiovascular events with 95% confidence intervals according to the serum level of remnant cholesterol. Reference set to median (0.84 mmol/L). Knots located at 0.18, 0.84, and 1.58 mmol/L (at the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles). Adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, body mass index, smoking status, drinking status, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hyperuricemia, and continuous triglyceride. CHD: coronary heart disease; CVD: cardiovascular disease; lnHRs: natural log of hazard ratios; RC: remnant cholesterol.
