In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 4 as published. The article included a table referring to another mathematical model, which does not refer to this study. The corrected Table 4 appears below.

Regression model for the prediction of fat-free mass (kg).

SEE, standard error of the estimate; VIF, variance inflation factor. Predictors:

a

(Constant), Ht2/R.

b

(Constant),s Ht2/R, weight.

c

(Constant), Ht2/R, weight, and reactance;

d

(Constant), Ht2/R, weight, reactance, and sex.

e

(Constant), Ht2/R, weight, reactance, sex, and height;

f

(Constant), Ht2/R, weight, reactance, sex, and age. The r2 change was significant for a, b, c, d, e, and, f.

In the original article, there was an error on page 5 in the section Results. In the presentation of the mathematical model for FFM estimation, the word “Fri” appears instead of the word “Sex.”

The corrected mathematical model included is presented below:

Sex: male = 0; female = 1

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
