Summary of the study. In the cross-sectional analyses, higher triglyceride was associated with higher levels of diabetes markers and higher risks for diabetes diagnosis. In the longitudinal analyses, higher triglyceride predicted higher diabetes mortality, which might be partially mediated by PG, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol, but not by C-reactive protein. ↑, increased; DM, diabetes; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; PG, plasma glucose
