A Correction on
Preliminary research on the effect of sutra chanting on oral and respiratory function: a comparison between expert sutra chanting buddhist priests and general buddhist priests in Japan

by Edahiro A, Ura C, Motohashi Y, Shoji R, Kaneko R, Ogawa Y, Takase A, Nakano K and Okamura T (2025). Front. Aging 6:1632997. doi: 10.3389/fragi.2025.1632997

There was a mistake in Table 2 as published. The original content was divided into three separate tables, but during the editing process, they were merged into a single table, which has made the meaning more difficult to understand. Furthermore, currently, the asterisks (*, **, ***) indicating statistical significance are attached directly to the numerical values (e.g., in the VIF column). However, these markers are intended to apply to the entire row. Therefore, the asterisks should be placed outside the VIF column, in the right-hand margin of the table, rather than next to the numerical values. The corrected Table 2 appears below.

Table 2. Results of the analysis. Effect of expert group in 3 models of multiple regression analyses which includes PEF (Table 2a), FVC (Table 2b), and ⊿HD (Table 2c) as the dependent variables.
