Area under the covariate-adjusted receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for predicting incident colorectal cancer (CRC). a.TyG index, b. BMI, c. brinkman index, d. alcohol consumption, e. TC, f. TG. The optimal cut-off value of TyG index for incident CRC is 8.272 (AUC 0.687 (95%CI, 0.637–737, sensitivity = 0.620, specificity = 0.668, p < 0.001)). AUC of BMI was 0.547 (95% CI: 0.498–0.602, p < 0.001, vs. TyG index), that of brinkman index was 0.605 (95% CI: 0.551–0.654, p < 0.001, vs. TyG index), that of alcohol consumption was 0.623 (95% CI: 0.571–0.676, p < 0.001, vs. TyG index), that of TC was 0.563 (95% CI: 0.515–0.616, p < 0.001, vs. TyG index), and that of TG was 0.608 (95% CI: 0.560–0.658, p < 0.001, vs. TyG index), respectively
