Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, and BMI. Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and mean TG. Model 3: adjusted for age, sex, BMI, mean TG, and baseline eGFR. TG: triglyceride; SD: standard deviation; Adj-SD: adjusted SD; MMD: maximum minus minimum difference; HR: hazard ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence intervals; BMI: body mass index; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate.
