In the original version of this article, the Publisher incorrectly listed the affiliation of the author, G.M. Leung. The correct affiliation for this author should be: School of Public Health, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China.

This has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the article.
