Erratum to “Sex-Specific Negative Association between Iron Intake and Cellular Aging Markers: Mediation Models Involving TNFα”

---

In the article titled “Sex-Specific Negative Association between Iron Intake and Cellular Aging Markers: Mediation Models Involving TNFα” [1], there were errors in Figures 4 and 5 and in Authors’ Contributions.

Figure 4(a) should show “1.535” instead of “-1.535” and “-0.018” instead of “0.018.” The corrected figure is shown below and listed as Figure 1.

Figure 1 

Path models of associations between iron intake, TNFα, and cellular aging markers. (a) The value for regression (A) was 0.0182, for regression (B) was <0.001, and for direct effect was 0.0016. (b) The value for regression (A) was 0.0457, for regression (B) was 0.1848, and for direct effect was 0.0429. As for the indirect effect, significance was achieved when zero was not included in confidence intervals and did not have a value. Models were adjusted for age, hypertension status, BMI, and HbA1c, LnTG, HDL-C, and carbohydrate proportion.

Figure 5 should show “-1.920” instead of “-0.1920” and “3.044” instead of “-3.044,” and the caption should state “In Figure 5” instead of “In Figure 4.” The corrected figure and corrected caption are shown below and listed as Figure 2.

Figure 2 

Path model of association between iron intake, mtDNAcn, and SOD. In Figure 5, the value for regression (a) was 0.0153, for regression (b) was 0.4453, and for direct effect was 0.0157. As for the indirect effect, significance was achieved when zero was not included in confidence intervals and did not have a value. Models were adjusted for age, hypertension status, BMI, and HbA1c, LnTG, HDL-C, and carbohydrate proportion.

There was an error in Authors’ Contributions, where some of the contributions were listed incorrectly. The corrected section appears below:

Authors’ Contributions

JY is responsible for the data acquisition, analysis and interpretation of the data, and drafting of the manuscript; HBL, PPL, FP, and WL worked on project administration; SLH is assigned to the investigation and software; HBZ is responsible for the funding acquisition and project administration; CXM, QS, MLM, YWL, and LL did the investigation; LLX and YXL are assigned to the study concept and design, critical revision of the manuscript for important intellectual content, and study supervision. All authors have read and approved the manuscript for publication.

The errors were introduced during the production process of the article, and Hindawi apologises for causing these errors in the article.
