Kaplan-Meier survival curves for all-cause mortality divided based on median value of (A) recent thymic emigrant count, (B) proportion of recent thymic emigrants among CD4+ T cells, (C) proportion of CD28− cells among CD4+ T cells, and (D) proportion of CD28− cells among CD8+ T cells. High recent thymic emigrant count (RTEs) groups and High proportion of RTEs among CD4+ T cells (RTE%) groups were significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. RTEs, RTE%, the proportion of CD28− cells among CD4+ T cells (CD28−/CD4+), and the proportion of CD28− cells among CD8+ T cells (CD28−/CD8+) were divided into High and Low groups based on median values. Unadjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression models
