Abstract

The authors regret that some errors were identified in the in-text citations and formatting in the originally published version of this article. In Table 1: • Under topic 4 (Weight and weight loss), in the sentence: “Weight loss can be measured and reported using different measures, including percentage weight loss, changes in weight in kilograms and changes in BMI (kg/m2),” the unit should be corrected to kg/m2• Under topic 5 (Muscle mass), the sentence: “Assessing muscle mass in patients with obesity is crucial yet challenging. While a higher BMI often corresponds to greater muscle mass, excess fat can distort measurements, leading to inaccuracies [35–37],” should cite references [34–37], not [35–37].Additionally, the sentences: “Although some studies [38–41] offer some guidance, further validation is needed to confirm the reliability of the tools used in this population,” and “Our literature review and database analyses [38–41] indicate that standard cut-off points for low muscle mass established for normal-weight individuals may not be suitable for those with obesity,” should cite references [37–40], not [38–41]. In Table 5: • The statement: “We suggest to apply the methods from the literature and database analyses [38–41] in practice to study how they relate to each other and learn from this,” should cite references [37–40], not [38–41].• The statement: “We suggest using the reference values for calf circumference that were derived from the nHanes database [41],” should correctly refer to the NHANES database and cite reference [36], not [41].These corrections are strictly bibliographic and formatting-related and do not affect the results, interpretation, or conclusions of the article. The authors sincerely apologise for these oversights.
