Correction to: International Journal of Obesity https://doi.org/10.1038/s41366-022-01110-6, published online 04 April 2022

The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake in the title. It was published with the title “Reply to the comment from Dr. Stensel” which was incorrect. The correct title is “Response to Comment on “Gestational body weight gain and risk of low birth weight or macrosomia in women of Japan: a nationwide cohort study””. The original article has been corrected.
