A total was improperly reported. On page 237, the first sentence in the abstract is: “We investigated the prevalence and risk factors of anemia and iron deficiency in 389 rural Amazonians aged 5–90 years in Acre, Brazil.”
A finding was improperly reported. On page 237, the second sentence in the Discussion section is: “However, because less than 20% of anemia in the population was attributable to iron deficiency, widespread iron supplementation alone is likely to have only a limited impact on the overall prevalence of anemia among people aged 5 years or older.”
