, 
Text Correction
- In the Results section (3.1. Participant Characteristics, fifth sentence): A factual error was found regarding the prevalence of Vitamin D (VD) deficiency. The original statement incorrectly indicated that “The VD deficiency prevalence was highest in summer and fall and decreased with age, and was most prevalent in the 18–44 age group”. This has been corrected to state that “The VD deficiency was actually lowest in summer and fall, and while it did decrease with age, it remained most prevalent in the 18–44 age group”.
- In the Discussion section (second sentence): There was an error due to a misalignment of data in Table 1. The initial version incorrectly reported the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) as 26.9%. This has been amended to the correct prevalence of 27.5%.
