  1. SBP indicates systolic blood pressure, CI confidence interval, NBW normal birth weight, LBW low birth weight; and CUG catch-up growth
  2. aResults were adjusted for sex, gestational age, and height and weight at baseline
  3. bResults were adjusted for sex, gestational age, and height, weight, and uric acid at baseline
