We would like to clarify that the odds ratios reported in Results and Discussion of this article refer to disease risk increase per unit increase in BMI, where (i) BMI is standardized to a standard normal distribution (1 unit equivalent to one standard deviation of BMI, ~4.5 kg/m2), and (ii) this increase in BMI refers to the specific adiposity subtype (given by the respective genetic variants’ class). This should have been specified where the odds ratios were presented in the Results and Discussion sections of this article.
