Figure 2

Association between changes in serum triglyceride levels and future incidence of dysglycemia. NGT: normal glucose tolerance; pre-DM: prediabetes; DM: diabetes mellitus; TG: triglyceride. Black bars: high TG at 3-year follow-up; white bars: normal TG at 3-year follow-up. (a, c, e) Percentage of corresponding outcomes of each group as classified according to serum TG levels at Baseline and 3-year follow-up. (b, d, f) Multivariate logistic regression model comparing ORs for corresponding outcomes associated with each group, taking the normal–normal group as the reference (), after adjusting for age, sex, family history of diabetes, baseline fasting plasma glucose level (for individuals with NGT at Baseline) or categories of pre-DM (for individuals with pre-DM at Baseline), and changes in body mass index. for comparison between the two groups.
