Following publication of the original article [1], the author noticed an error in the last sentence of "Lipid analyses" under Methods section. The last sentence should read, “ApoB: ApoA1 ratios were computed. Non-HDL cholesterol was calculated as total minus HDL cholesterol and remnant cholesterol was assessed as total cholesterol minus (HDL-cholesterol plus LDL-cholesterol)”.

The original article has been corrected.
