Current perspectives on global sugar consumption: definitions, recommendations, population intakes, challenges and future direction – CORRIGENDUM

The published paper contained some errors: please see below for details and the correct information. 1) In the results section on p6, 'Adults (19-64 yrs)', the first sentence of the second paragraph currently reads:"Total sugars intake (%TE) ranged from 12.7% in 35-49 year old men and women in Lithuania to 26% in 19-30 year old women in The Netherlands."The correct text is: "Total sugars intake (%TE) ranged from 12.7% in 35-49 year old men and women in Lithuania to 24% in 15-80 year old women in Germany."2) In Table 6: Data relating to The Netherlands was incorrectly reported as"Total sugars (%E) for men (19-30y) as 25.8 and for women 26.0"The correct values are 21.0 for men and 22.1 for women. 3) Tables 3-7: For France and Mexico, where n numbers are stated only for males or females, the number stated is the combined n number for males and females. Table 7: For Greece, the n numbers stated are for all age groups combined (35-44, 45-54, 55-64 y). 4) Several rows of data on Table 6 relating to sugar intakes in New Zealand and Spain are misaligned in the print version and are correct in the second table outlined here: (Table Presented).
