Since publication of the original paper, the authors discovered that due to a typographical error, the wrong lower cut point for acceptable energy intake/basal metabolic rate was given in the Methods section of the manuscript.

The published sentence was:

“A total of 14,726 participants with a ratio below 0.87 or above 2.75 were excluded (<0.89 or >2.66 for participants >75 years), leaving 129,369 participants in the study.”

The correct sentence is:

“A total of 14,726 participants with a ratio below 0.50 (the 10th percentile in our cohort), or above 2.75 were excluded, leaving 129,369 participants in the study.”
