In the original article, there were some mistakes in Table 1 as published. The means and SD of TG, TC, HDL-c, LDL-c, SBP, DBP and FSG in the non-obesity group were incorrect. The corrected Table 1 appears below.

Characteristics of selected study participants by obesity status.
p <0.01.
SD, standard deviation; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FSG, fasting serum glucose; TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; LDL-c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Obesity was defined as BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2.
Hypertension was defined as self-reported hypertension diagnosed by a physician, self-reported regular use of antihypertensive medications, or systolic/diastolic blood pressure at recruitment ≥ 140/90 mmHg.
Dyslipidemia was defined as meeting any of the following criteria: (1) TC ≥ 6.22 mmol/L; (2) LDL-C ≥ 4.14 mmol/L; (3) HDL-C <1.04 mmol/L; (4) TG ≥ 2.26 mmol/L; (5) self-reported dyslipidemia or use of lipid-lowering medications; Diabetes mellitus was defined as self-reported diabetes diagnosed by a physician, self-reported regular use of antidiabetic medications, or fasting glucose at recruitment ≥ 7.0 mmol/L.
