Erratum: Burden of disease attributable to high body mass index: an analysis of data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (eClinicalMedicine (2024) 76, (S2589537024004279), (10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102848))

Correction to Figure 4 Caption In the original paper, the caption for Figure 4A mistakenly labels “DALYs” (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) when it should read “deaths.” This error was due to a typographical oversight. The corrected title is as follows: Figure 4: (A) Age-standardized death rates attributable to high BMI in 2021; (B) Age-standardized DALY rates attributable to high BMI in 2021. Correction to Table 1 In the original paper, Table 1 contains misaligned age-standardized death values for causes of death compared to the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. This error was caused by a shift in data rows, resulting in incorrect automatic entries where values intended for Age-standardized DALYs (e.g., 0.36) were mistakenly populated in the Age-standardized death column. Consequently, values such as 0.36, 1.36, 2.36, 3.36, and so forth were incorrectly filled into the age-standardized death data. A corrected version of Table 1 is attached for reference, with all values realigned to accurately reflect the original GBD data. Impact on Data Interpretation These corrections ensure accurate representation of the data but do not change the overall conclusions of the paper.
