There was an error in the original publication [1]. The BMI values were incorrectly written as ranging between 5 and 30.0 kg/m2, when the correct range is between 18.5 and 30.0 kg/m2.
A correction has been made to the first paragraph of Section 2. Materials and Methods, 2.2. Participant Eligibility.
Participants aged 65 years or older, female, with a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 30.0 kg/m2, and with a relatively low skeletal muscles mass (<110% of the standard lean mass) were eligible for the study. Participants with abnormal liver or renal function (aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥ 60 IU/L, creatinine level ≥ 1.2 mg/dL, urinalysis dipstick reading of ≥2+), uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure (BP) ≥ 160/100 mmHg), uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, uncontrolled diabetes (fasting glucose level ≥ 160 mg/dL), a history of gastrectomy, mental disorder, known allergies, addiction to alcohol or drugs, and those with a notable cardiovascular disease or central bone fracture within the past 6 months were excluded. Fifty-two females participated in our study.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original publication has also been updated.
