Correction to: International Journal of Obesity (2017) 41, 813–819; doi:10.1038/ijo.2017.2

The following paragraph on page 814:

Weight status: Overweight was defined based on the International Obesity Task Force-recommended age- and sex-specific cutoffs corresponding to BMI=25 kg m−2 at age 18 years.26 Obesity was defined based on the International Obesity Task Force-recommended age- and sex-specific cutoffs corresponding to BMI=3025 kg m−2 at age 18 years.

Should read:

Weight status: Overweight was defined based on the International Obesity Task Force-recommended age- and sex-specific cutoffs corresponding to BMI=25 kg m−2 at age 18 years.26 Obesity was defined based on the International Obesity Task Force-recommended age- and sex-specific cutoffs corresponding to BMI=30 kg m−2 at age 18 years.

The typesetter would like to apologize for their error.
