The nonlinear associations between cardio-renal and plasma glucose biomarkers with CVD mortality in a diabetic population. The restricted cubic spline for the association between serum ln(hs-cTNT) (A), ln(hs-cTNI) (B), ln(NT-proBNP) (C), ln(Creatine) (D), ln(Cystatin C) (E), ln(β-2 microglobulin) (F), ln(plasma glucose) (G), ln(HbA1c) (H), ln(Glycated albumin) (I) and risk of CVD mortality among adults with diabetes. Knots were placed at the 5th, 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of the serum biomarkers distribution. Adjustment factors were age, gender, education, marital status, race, the ratio of family income to poverty, BMI, drinking, smoking, physical activity. HR, hazard ratio; LL, lower limit; UL, upper limit
