Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-41908-6, published online 22 September 2023
The original version of this Article contained errors in the Results and Discussion sections.
In the Results section, the sentence:
“Participants aged less than 40 years old using weight loss agents showed increased risks of elevated liver enzymes (aOR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.12–1.87), and significant associations were found between elevated liver enzymes and the use of traditional medicines (aOR: 1.90, 95% CI:1.24–2.90) and supplements (aOR: 1.54, 95% CI 1.14–2.08).”
now reads:
“Participants aged less than 40 years old using weight loss agents showed increased risks of elevated liver enzymes (aOR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.12–1.87), and significant associations were found between elevated liver enzymes and the use of weight loss medications with prescription (aOR: 1.90, 95% CI:1.24–2.90) and supplements (aOR: 1.54, 95% CI 1.14–2.08).”
In addition, in the Discussion section, the sentence:
“The association between the use of traditional herbal medicines and elevated liver enzymes was significant in men and young people.”
now reads:
“The association between the use of traditional herbal medicines and elevated liver enzymes was significant in men.”
The original Article has been corrected.
