Following publication of the original article [1], the authors would like to correct some information in the fourth paragraph under ‘Data extraction’ in the methods section. We have found that the LDL-cholesterol concentrations included in the study were measured directly, not calculated from total cholesterol.
The information originally read:
Serum total cholesterol was analysed by CHOD-PAP enzymatic colorimetric methods with commercial kits (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) from non-fasting blood samples. The analysis was performed at the Department of Laboratory Medicine, University Hospital of North Norway, Tromsø, Norway. LDL-cholesterol concentration was then calculated according to Friedewald’s formula: LDL-cholesterol = total cholesterol − high-density lipoprotein cholesterol − (0.45 × triglycerides).
The information should read:
LDL-cholesterol was collected and analyzed by trained personnel using enzymatic colorimetric methods with commercial kits on a Cobas 8000 c702 (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) from non-fasting venous blood samples. The analysis was performed at the Department of Laboratory Medicine, University Hospital of North Norway, Tromsø, Norway (ISO certification NS-EN ISO 15189:2012).
The original article [1] has been corrected.
