Figure 1 was incorrectly referenced on the second page of the article when discussing a study by Brown et al (reference #15), as this figure is not related to the cited work. Figure 1 was published originally in the manuscript by Tuomilehto et al (Reference #83) and is correctly referenced on the sixth page of the article.
