The authors of the above paper noticed an error in the publication of this article. In the ‘Methods’ section, the equation used to estimate daily salt excretion should have read:
Estimated 24-h urinary salt excretion (g per day)=1.285 × (Na (mEq l−1)/Cr (mg l−1) in spot urine × expected 24-h Cr excretion)0.392, where expected 24-h Cr excretion (mg per day)=−2.04 × age (year old)+14.89 × weight (kg)+16.14 × height (cm)−2244.45.
Article with correct equation now appears in this issue. The online html and pdf versions have also been rectified.
