The authors regret that the Quality-of-Life PROPr scale used to measure Physical Function and the first and second Sleep Disturbance items, both included in the supplementary file for this article, were coded in the wrong direction. As a result, both scores were reported incorrectly in the accepted version of the manuscript. All other results remain the same. The updated Fig. 1 and Table 4 to reflect these new PROPr scores for Physical Function and Sleep Disturbance are included below.
Fig. 1.
Diet, Exercise, Food Insecurity, and Quality-of-Life Results. (A) Average weekly dietary and exercise habits among respondents 1 month after the COVID-19 outbreak (April) and 8 months after (November). (B) Average daily dietary habits among respondents in April and November 2020 (C) Proportion of participants screening positive for being at risk for food insecurity in April and November 2020. (D) Average quality-of-life scores of respondents at time of the two surveys compared to population means. (***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05).
Table 4.
Average quality of life (PROPr) scores among participants at time of survey, compared to general population means.

| Sleep Disturbance | 50.75 (9.48) | t (619) = 1.97 p = 0.049 |
49.80 (9.52) | t (618) = −0.51 p = 0.607 |
| Anxiety/Fear | 57.89 (10.44) | t(617) = 18.76 p < 0.001 |
53.08 (10.87) | t(618) = 7.02 p < 0.001 |
The new scores suggest that Physical Function and Sleep Disturbance were not significantly worse than population means at both time points, as the manuscript reports. Respondents reported slightly higher than average physical function scores, which increased by November. Additionally, while participants experienced more Sleep Disturbance early in the pandemic, scores had reduced to population means by November.
