In the published article, there was an error in the title of Table 1 as published. The authors forgot to add the word “risk”. The corrected legend appears below.
“Table 1 General characteristics of the study participants by obstructive sleep apnea risk severity.”
In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. The value for “Intermediate OSA risk” in the second row, column 3, was incorrectly reported as “Intermediate OSA risk 887 (7.60%)”. The correct text is “Intermediate OSA risk 348 (7.60%)”.
The corrected Table 1 and its caption appear below.

General characteristics of the study participants by obstructive sleep apnea risk severity.
The total sample (n=4578) values are presented as numbers (%) or mean (±SD).
Continuous variables by OSA status, were tested using ANOVA, and a Chi-squared test was used for categorical variables. Missing data represents "Prefer not to answer" or "Do not know" or missing. If data was missing, a missing indicator was added to the table.
OSA, obstructive sleep apnea; SD, standard deviation; BMI, body mass index; PN, prefer not to answer; DN, do not now.
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
