In the original article, there was an error, in particular, in the results section of the Abstract:

Results: A total of 76 patients were enrolled. Group A (n = 39, M: 24, F: 15) showed greater BWL with a significant reduction of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, transferrin, cholinesterase, albumin, and LVMI with respect to Group B (p < 0.01). Conversely, Group B (n = 37, M: 23, F: 14) showed significantly increased intact parathyroid hormone, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and C-reactive protein when compared to Group A (p < 0.05).

A correction has been made in the results section of the Abstract.

The authors declare that this error, present only in the abstract, does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
