Restricted cubic splines of sPNNS-GS2 in models 1, 2, 3 and 4 in association with mortality risk in the E3N cohort (N = 72 585). The null is taken as reference. The "p" represents the p-value for the overall association. Solid lines indicate HR, and dashed lines indicate 95% CI. The points represent percentiles as follows: 3 nodes at the 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles, 4 nodes at the 5th, 35th, 65th and 95th percentiles, or 5 nodes at the 5th, 27.5th, 50th, 72.5th and 95th percentiles. To facilitate the readability of the results, the graph represents the association between sPNNS-GS2 and mortality for sPNNS-GS2 values ranging from the 1st to the 99th percentile
