Baseline characteristics of all snoring patients were described across TyG index variability quartiles. Mean ± SD or median (interquartile range) were used to describe continuous variables. Count (proportion) was used to describe categorical variables. The Kruskal–Wallis test or one-way ANOVA were used to compare the continuous variables. χ2 test were used to compare categorical variables. The relationship of the TyG index and NAFLD were valued via logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline analysis. The value of TyG index and combined prediction index in predicting NAFLD in snoring patients was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve). A p < 0.05 was defined as a statistically significant difference. Statistical analysis and plotting were conducted by R 3.6.2 (https://www.r-project.org/).
