Figures 1 and 2 are reversed. The charts shown in Figure 1 actually depict data for women, not men. Similarly, the charts in Figure 2 actually depict data for men, not women. The title for Figure 1 should therefore read as follows: "Weight and body composition versus height of women in the NY-1 database group." The title for Figure 2 should read as follows: "Weight and body composition versus height of men in the NY-1 database group." In addition, on page 84, the third sentence of the subsection "Allometric analyses" should read as follows: "The associations of weight and each component with height, fitted with univariate regression models, are presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2 for NY-1 women and men, respectively."
