TyG, triglyceride glucose; LTL, leukocyte telomere length; CI, confidence interval. Model 1 was adjusted for age. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, education, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and BMI. Model 3 was adjusted for age, sex, education, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, BMI, waist circumference, SBP, DBP, history of hypertension, TC, SUA, eGFR, and CRP.
