Correction to: International Journal of Obesity https://doi.org/10.1038/s41366-024-01470-1, published online 24 January 2024

The following was given incorrectly in the ‘Abstract’ and the ‘Results’ section of the original article:

(Beta (95% CI) = −0.04 kg per week (−0.06, −0.01); P = 3.7 × 10-03). The unit ‘kg per week’ was inadvertently removed during the processing of the article. The original article has been corrected.
