Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-022-06490-3, Published online 14 February 2022

The original version of this article contained errors in Table 1, where the values under ‘State 2 (H&NW)’, ‘State 3 (NH&W)’, ‘State 4 (NH&NW) and ‘LE’ in row ‘Has OA’ and ‘No OA’ were incorrect.

The correct and incorrect values appear below.

Incorrect:

Osteoarthritis State 2 (H&NW) State 3 (NH&W) State 4 (NH&NW) LE
Has OA 12.17 (11.8, 12.53) 1.62 (1.51, 1.72) 7.53 (7.25, 7.80) 31.31 (30.89, 31.73)
No OA 8.82 (8.36, 9.29) 2.74 (2.48, 3.00) 15.00 (14.43, 15.58) 32.25 (31.59, 32.90)

Correct:

Osteoarthritis State 2 (H&NW) State 3 (NH&W) State 4 (NH&NW) LE
Has OA 8.82 (8.36, 9.29) 2.74 (2.48, 3.00) 15.00 (14.43, 15.58) 32.25 (31.59, 32.90)
No OA 12.17 (11.8, 12.53) 1.62 (1.51, 1.72) 7.53 (7.25, 7.80) 31.31 (30.89, 31.73)

Consequently, in the results section,

"For people without osteoarthritis at age 50 in England, HWLE was 10.00 (9.74, 10.26) years, corresponding to 31.0% of LE from age 50 (32.3 [31.6, 32.9] years) (Fig. 2, Table 1). For people with osteoarthritis at age 50 in England, HWLE was 5.68 (5.29, 6.07) years, corresponding to 18.1% of LE from age 50 (31.31 [30.89, 31.73] years) (Fig. 2, Table 1)."

Now reads:

"For people without osteoarthritis at age 50 in England, HWLE was 10.00 (9.74, 10.26) years, corresponding to 31.9% of LE from age 50 (31.31 [30.89, 31.73] years) (Fig. 2, Table 1). For people with osteoarthritis at age 50 in England, HWLE was 5.68 (5.29, 6.07) years, corresponding to 17.6% of LE from age 50 (32.25 [31.59, 32.90] years) (Fig. 2, Table 1)."

The original article has been corrected.
