abstract = {Background: This study aims to investigate the associations of different (low/medium/high) levels of fasting triglyceride (TG) levels with cardiovascular endpoints.
Methods: This cohort study comprised of in-service and retired employees of the Kailuan Coal Mine Group, who participated in the health examination conducted in 11 hospitals in the Kailuan region from June 2006 to October 2007 (n=100,271). The study population was divided into five groups according to different TG levels. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with elevated TG, and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of different TG levels on endpoint events.
Results: After a median follow-up of 7 years, 961 patients developed MI and 3,142 subjects died. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that elevated TG, an age of ≥65 years old, body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m2, fasting blood glucose (FBG) ≥6.1 mmol/L and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) },
