The authors would like to make an addendum to their published paper [1].
In the published paper, the units in the developed formula in the study were not described. This may confuse followers regarding how to use the formula. Therefore, we would sincerely like to add the units into the formula. The formula described in the published version is: “−1006.38 + 16.29 × age + 1161.80 × sex (if female, 0; if male, 1) + 55.91 × body weight + 2.22 × CSA of the erector muscles at Th12” and can be found in the Abstract and the Methods section. We would like to make the following amendment: “−1006.38 + 16.29 × age [years] + 1161.80 × sex (if female, 0; if male, 1) + 55.91 × body weight [kg] + 2.22 × CSA of the erector muscles at Th12 [mm2]”.
The change does not affect the scientific results.
The rest of the manuscript does not need to be changed. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
