In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. The proportions of health literacy levels (Inadequate, Problematic, Adequate) were calculated using the total sample size of 2090 as the denominator, inadvertently including 441 participants with missing health literacy data. The corrected proportions are based on valid cases only. The corrected Table 1 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction has been approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
Table 1. Demographic and other characteristics of the sample were the weighted distribution of categorical variables, including sociodemographic characteristics, health literacy (HLS-EU-Q16), patient activation (PAM-10), and self-reported health status (n = 2090).

1 weighted mean age of 53.8 years (standard deviation of 17.6); median of 54 years (interquartile range of 39–69). 2 HLS-EU-Q16: health literacy was grouped into inadequate (0–25), problematic (26–33), and adequate (34–50). 3 PAM-10: patient activation was categorised into four levels: low (≤47.0, disengaged) to high (≥72.5, maintaining behaviours). 4 Health status: categorised into poor (0–50), fair (51–75), good (76–90), and excellent (91–100).
