Erratum to: Sedentary time in adults and the association with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and death: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Although this meta-analysis included prospective cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality data from the EPIC Norfolk study by Wijndaele et al [36], the recently published non-fatal cardiovascular disease data from the same cohort (Wijndaele et al [30]) were not included. The authors regret this oversight and have now incorporated these data into their meta-analysis. As a result, the RR of CVD has changed from 2.47 (95% CI 1.44, 4.24) to 2.02 (1.42, 2.89) (see amended Fig. 2). The quality score assigned to the Wijndaele paper [30], which was originally calculated based on the cross-sectional diabetes data from this publication, increases from 0 to the maximum 6 in table 1. The inclusion of the CVD data from Wijndaele [30] does not alter the main conclusions of the paper.
