Corrections

In a recent commentary summarizing the updated recommendations for the management of dyslipidemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease,¹ the year in which the report of the US National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel-III was published was given incorrectly as 2002; this report was in fact published in 2001.

In addition, in the appendix to the commentary, certain symbols are missing from the 3 tables on page 923 and, in the paragraph on diet (page 924), the body mass index to be achieved and maintained should be less than 25 kg/m². A corrected version of the appendix has been posted online at www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/169/9/921/DC2.
