BW quartiles (g)	1^st quartile + 2nd quartile		3^rd quartile + 4^th quartile		4^th quartile
	BW ≤ 3,299g		BW ≥ 3,300g		BW ≥ 3,657g
	R	p	R	p	R	p
BMI Z-score	-0.031	0.737	0.287	0.001	0.254	0.046
Nº of MS risk factors	-0.059	0.517	0.206	0.022	0.285	0.025
DBP	-0.231	0.011	0.166	0.067	0.306	0.015
SBP	-0.252	0.005	0.141	0.119	0.247	0.053

BW: birth weight; BMI: body mass index; MS: metabolic syndrome; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure.
