Erratum for Yokoyama et al., “Skipping Breakfast and Risk of Mortality from Cancer, Circulatory Diseases and All Causes: Findings from the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study”

ERRATUM

Yonago Acta Med. 2016;59:55–60.

In Table 2 on page 58, the HR₂† (95% CI) value of the circulatory diseases mortality under the column heading, Skipping breakfast§ for women, should be “1.19 (0.71–2.00)” instead of “1.19 (0.71–1.05).” The counterpart under the column heading, P value for women, should be “0.4962” instead of “0.1828.”

The original and the corrected Table 2 are depicted below:
