The statement in the Discussion concerning the results of Equation 4 (page 802, left column, third paragraph) is incorrect. As stated in the Results (799, right column, second paragraph), there was no significant difference (0.4 ± 3.0, P = 0.28) between skeletal muscle (SM) measured by magnetic resonance imaging and predicted SM. In addition, on 799 (right column, second paragraph), the high correlation given in reference to Figure 1D is incorrect. This should read (r = 0.09, P = 0.009).
