In the published article, there was an error in the legend for “Table 4. Daily intake of minerals and trace elements (self-reports, 5 days) - NuEva-screening (Median / IQR; (Min - Max)).” as published. The Information “*Diet groups with different indices differ significantly (p < 0.05)” was lost. To complete the data, we would like to insert the information that the calculation of iodine and selenium intake was not possible. The corrected legend appears below.
“Groups: 1 = omnivores, 2 = flexitarians, 3 = vegetarians, 4 = vegans.
Adjusted for BMI: Iodine (μg).
§Reference intake: DGE, 2019.
Significant influence of sex: chloride, iron, copper, zinc.
The selenium intake was not calculated because the nutritional software (PRODI®) does not provide any information on the selenium levels in foods.
The iodine intake was not calculated because the additional intake by fortified table salt was unknown.
*Diet groups with different indices differ significantly (p < 0.05).”
