The authors had previously chosen to present in Table 1 the baseline characteristics for the entire BLEND cohort, consisting of 2731 cases and 555 452 noncases. However, in Tables 2 and 4 they had included only those cases and noncases with enough data on oils and fats intake (N = 1425 cases and 418 590 noncases). This might lead to confusion for the reader; therefore, they would prefer to present the baseline characteristics only for those included in the main analyses. Please see the revised Table 1 with changed values in bold.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience.
