On page 1 in the Results paragraph of the Abstract

instead of :

Results: For men, there was a 0.5 % increase in risk for every 10-unit rise in serum ferritin (pmol/l)

it should read:

Results: For men, there was a 1.5 % increase in risk for every 10-unit rise in serum ferritin (pmol/l)

On page 5, column 2, in the second sentence

instead of:

For every 10-unit rise in serum ferritin (pmol/l), 10-year CHD risk increased by 5.1 %,…

it should read:

For every 10-unit rise in serum ferritin (pmol/l), 10-year CHD risk increased by 1.5 %,…

On page 6, Table 6, the point estimate for the Female Ferritin (odds per 100-unit increase)

instead of :

1.51

it should read:

1.15.

On page 7, in the Conclusions, in column 2, lines 1-5

instead of :

However, serum ferritin was a significant predictor of 10-year CHD risk in low-income, urban men and women, showing a 0.5 % and 5.1 % increase with each 10-unit increase in serum ferritin (pmol/l),…
