article, the authors have noted that the Abstract and the
Acknowledgements contained errors and an omission, respectively,
and wish to correct these points for the record. First, in the
Abstract, on p. 191, the pair of consecutive sentences beginning on
line 16 should have read as follows (changes highlighted in bold
and in the subsequent parentheses): “In the non-fatty liver group,
the odds ratio (OR) for hypertension was 1.73 (1.04-2.88; P=0.035).
In the fatty liver group, the OR for each Mets-related diseases
were as follows: Dyslipidemia, 0.64 (0.44-0.95; P=0.028); impaired
glucose tolerance, 0.57 (0.37-0.88; P=0.012); chronic kidney
disease, 0.58 (0.36-0.94; P=0.029); and Mets by Japanese criteria,
0.63 (0.44-0.92; P=0.016). (“2”, featured erroneously after
“1.04-2.88”, has been omitted). Secondly, in the Acknowledgements
section, “Noriko” should have been properly acknowledged as
follows: “The authors thank all the members of the Department of
Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Fukuchiyama City Hospital. The
authors would also like to thank Ms. Noriko Nishikawa, of the
medical division staff, for assistance with data
collection.”
The authors apologize for these errors, and for any
