There was an error in the last sentence of the section Results, Paragraph One:

The sentence read as “ No significant differences were found in skeletal muscle mass or waist circumference.” The corrected paragraph appears below.

“This observational study included 19 participants (94.7% female) with a mean age of 43.4 ± 16.05 years (min: 20 years; max: 69 years). Participants were clustered according to their BMI into the healthy group and the overweight/obesity group. The overweight/obesity group showed significantly more comorbidities (p < 0.001) and higher BMI, fat mass, waist circumference and visceral adipose tissue (p < 0.01) (Table 1). Lipid profiles also differed significantly, with the overweight/obesity group showing higher total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglycerides (p < 0.05), but no difference in HDL-C (p = 0.912). No significant differences were found in skeletal muscle mass and glucose levels.”
