Correction: Association of physical activity intensity and bout length with mortality: An observational study of 79,503 UK Biobank participants

The results of sensitivity analyses using the isometric log transformed activity variables were incorrect. The results have been corrected in S10–S12 Figs.

In the fifth paragraph of the Results section, the third sentence is incorrect. The paragraph should read:

Results of sensitivity analyses using “other day” imputed data were broadly consistent with the results of our main analyses using the complete days data (S4, S6, S7, and S9 Figs, S4–S6 Tables). Results of sensitivity analyses excluding BMI and ill health as covariates were comparable to our main analyses (S4–S6 Tables). Results using isometric log ratio transformed activity variables were largely consistent with our main analyses (S10–S12 Figs). However, unlike in our main analyses, we found some evidence that transferring time to very short MVPA bouts (1-9min duration) from longer MVPA bouts associates with lower mortality when larger quantities of time (e.g. 25mins) are transferred.
