The authors wish to add the following amendments and corrections to their paper published in IJERPH [1].
  • All “consumptions” in the manuscript should be corrected as “consumption”.
  • Minor errors in statistical calculations have been observed. New statistical analyses have been performed. The newly conducted analyses do not change the conclusions of this study. We have attached the edited tables (Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3).
  • The results of Tukey’s honest significance tests were mostly similar, except with respect to the association between weekly and daily consumption of sweetened beverages and current smoking status. However, this new result is more consistent with that of the multivariable logistic regression model.
