Correction: Fanelli Kuczmarski, M.; et al. Aspects of Dietary Diversity Differ in Their Association with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in a Racially Diverse US Adult Population. Nutrients 2019, 11, 1034

The authors wish to make a correction to Table 2 in the published version of their paper [1].

A programming error was found when estimating mean equivalents from other HANDLS study waves. The mean equivalents were calculated based on only the last intake of a food and not the daily intake. A corrected version of Table 2 is shown below.

Table 2.

Mean daily equivalents (± standard errors) consumed for each food group by HANDLS study population.

Abbreviations: HANDLS—Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span, SE—standard error. ¹ Excluded from count score. ² Includes non-alcoholic beverages other than water.

This change does not affect the dietary diversity scores, the overall results of the regression analyses or scientific conclusions since mean equivalents were not used in score calculations. However, one edit to the second sentence in the second paragraph of 3.2. Dietary Characteristics is needed. The mean equivalents of starchy vegetables exceeded other vegetables. The sentence should now read, “The subgroups with the greatest mean equivalents were other fruits, total starchy vegetables, refined grains, poultry and cheese.”

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to readers by these changes.
