  FIGURE 2. Analysis of triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) index in stroke and non‐stroke subjects. (A) Comparison of TyG index between stroke and non‐stroke groups (***p < 0.001). (B) Comparison of all‐cause mortality between stroke and non‐stroke groups (*p < 0.05). (C) Association of TyG index quartiles with stroke prevalence (***p < 0.001). The TyG index was categorized into quartiles (Q1–Q4).

  FIGURE 3. Multivariate adjusted spline curve of the association between the triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) and stroke (A) and between the TyG index and all‐cause mortality (B) in respondents with CAD. Odds ratios (OR) and hazard ratios (HR) were adjusted for age (as a continuous variable), gender, race, education level, marital status, BMI, nicotine exposure, and alcohol consumption. The solid line and red area represent the estimated values and their corresponding 95% CI. CI, confidence interval.

  FIGURE 4. Stratified analysis of the association between the triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) and stroke (A), as well as between the TyG index and all‐cause mortality (B) in respondents with CAD. Stratified analyses of the associations between the TyG index, stroke, and all‐cause mortality among respondents with CAD. *Marital status: 1: married or living with a partner; 2: never married/widowed/divorced/separated. CI confidence interval, HR, hazard ratio; NH, non‐Hispanic; OR, odds ratio; TyG, triglyceride glucose.
