To investigate the association between longitudinal changing patterns of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and kidney function change in the general population. We conducted a retrospective, longitudinal cohort study of a health examination center database in China. Subjects who had at least three visits from 2011 to 2018 with baseline eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m were enrolled. The FPG trajectories were identified by group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM). We examined the association of eGFR slopes and FPG trajectories by Cox analysis. Totally, 8114 participants were identified. Three heterogeneous FBP trajectories were detected by GBTM as low-stable group (n=7294), moderate-stable group (n=657) and high-stable group (n=163). The high-stable group had lower baseline eGFR, a higher percentage of fast eGFR slope, lower HDL-c, higher LDL-c, higher cholesterol, and higher Lg(triglyceride). Cox analysis showed that the high-stable trajectory was a risk factor for fast eGFR decline (for eGFR slope
