Correction
==========


The article “Current and predicted prevalence of obesity in Canada: a trend analysis,”1 published Mar. 3, 2014, contained incorrect data in Tables 2 and 3.

In Table 2 (part 1 of 2), provincial data in the normal-weight category were incorrect for Manitoba. The prevalence for 2000/01 should be 50.8% among women and 40.6% among men. The % change from 2000/01 to 2011 should be –9.4 among women and –16.2 among men.

In Table 3 (part 1 of 2), the overweight category contained errors in the prevalence data for 2011 and in the % change from 2000/01 to 2011 in the columns for Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia and in the National column. Below is an excerpt of the table showing the revised overweight category.
