The authors regret that the entity that processed the Food Frequency Questionnaire responses for us returned the data on a different coding scheme (1-9) than what we were expecting (0-8, as indicated on the 2007 FFQ Booklet). As such, when converting the coded outcomes to servings per day, our applied servings per day was upper shifted by one category, resulting us overreporting participants’ fruit and vegetable consumption.
Our reported average fruit and vegetable consumption was 11.8 (6.8) servings/day but it actually should be 5.1 (3.4) servings/day. We have attached the paper and supplemental tables with the numbers altered according to the alternate scale. If we use the numbers in the tables, one sentence in the abstract would have altered numbers: “Correlations between skin carotenoids and self-reported FV intake ranged from 0.28 (non-Hispanic black) to 0.53 (non-Hispanic white), with an overall correlation of r = 0.38.” There are changes in Tables 2-4, and Supplemental Tables 1-2. Of note, this does not change the overall findings of our study.
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
