Using restricted cubic splines in Model 5 to evaluate the dose–response relationship, no clear evidence of nonlinearity or a threshold effect was observed (P for nonlinearity = 0.378), and the overall association was of borderline significance (overall P = 0.051).

In the primary model, each 1-unit increase in CTI was associated with an HR of 1.59 (95% CI 0.99–2.55), and participants in the highest quartile had a higher risk than those in the lowest quartile (HR = 2.22, 95% CI 1.06–4.62), with a significant trend test (P for trend = 0.027), indicating that the direction of the association was consistent with that observed in CHARLS.
