The authors wish to make the following correction to this paper [1]. While the estimates presented in the text on page 12, where Table 4 is cited, are estimates for a 10-year follow-up and according to our study aim, the included table erroneously presented estimates for a 15-year follow-up. Therefore, the authors wish to replace it with that on a 10-year follow-up as follows:

Table 4.

Hazard ratios (HR) and their 95 % confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for age (model 1) and age and socioeconomic status 1 (model 2).
