Corrigendum to ‘Sugar-sweetened or artificially-sweetened beverage consumption, physical activity, and risk of cardiovascular disease in adults: a prospective cohort study’The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition volume 119 issue 3 (2024) 669-681

The authors regret three instances in the published paper where the units were mislabeled. Specifically, these refer to the joint analysis of sugar- or artificially-sweetened beverages and physical activity, with two mislabeled mentions in the Results section and one in the Discussion section. Where we stated servings/d (servings/day) it should be servings/wk (servings/week).

In the Results section, it should read as follows:

“There was also a higher risk of CVD among those who met physical activity guidelines and consumed 2 SSB servings/wk (pooled HR, 1.15; 95% CI: 1.08, 1.23), with similar patterns for CAD (Figure 1B) and stroke (Figure 1C)”.

and

“Moreover, our joint analysis showed that individuals who met physical activity guidelines and consumed >2 servings/wk of SSBs had a higher risk of CVD than those who met physical activity guidelines and consumed SSBs <1/mo”.

In the Discussion section, it should read as follows:

“Supplemental Table 7 documents that not meeting physical activity guidelines and consuming >2 servings/wk of SSB or ASB is associated with a higher risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke”.

The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused.
