Correction of supplement tables

Posted by kkwak on 25 Aug 2017 at 07:44 GMT

I am a first author of this article.
I'd like to notify readers of some minor errors in the supplements.

The numbers in the 'S1 table' are incorrect (numbers of men and women are the same). I had copied and pasted the numbers in the table, but the numbers of men and women were the same by mistake, but I could not found and correct them. Also, The frames in the 'S2 table' are broken. These mistakes do not affect the outcome of our study.

I apologize for not taking it well before publication. If you need modified supplement tables, please send me an e-mail (ggm1981@snu.ac.kr).

Thank you for your understanding.
