In the Disability and all-cause mortality subsection of the Methods, there is an error in the first sentence of the first paragraph. The correct sentence is: Disability was determined by the Japanese long-term care insurance (LTCI) system [22] and/or death [23].

In Table 2, the odds ratio under Model 2 column for current cat ownership is missing. It should have been 1.06. Please view the correct Table 2 below.
