Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported errors in Table 1. The first heading of the table should read “Continuous variables” and not “Categorical variables”. The correct table is given in this correction article. The original article [1] has been corrected.

SD Standard deviation, TG Triglyceride, LDLC Low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDLC High density lipoprotein cholesterol, TC Total cholesterol, BMI Body mass index, HTG Hypertriglyceridemia, T2D type 2 diabetes

^aExcluded one individual on fibrates (n = 1)

^bFor individuals on statin medications, LDLC and TC levels were divided by 0.7 and 0.8, respectively, as in previous studies [8, 9, 32]

^cRecorded at the date of TC measurement to the nearest 0.1 years

^dMild-moderate HTG is defined as having a TG level between 1.7–10 mmol/L. For this row only, there are n = 74 males and n = 149 total

^eDefined as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder
