In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 3 as published. The 95% CI in the last column is “0.88 to 2.29” and not “0.33 to 1.59”. The corrected Table 3 appears below.
TABLE 3
| Survey year | Population distribution of consumption of ultra-processed foods as in | Predicted multiple-adjusted prevalence of obesity (%) | Population distribution of consumption of ultra-processed foods as in | Predicted prevalence of obesity (%) | Difference between predicted values | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | 95% CI | Mean | 95% CI | Mean | 95% CI | |||
| 2002/3 | 2002/3 | 10.15 | 9.79; 10.53 | 2008/9 | 10.53 | 10.38; 10.69 | 0.38 | −0.14 to 0.90 |

Prevalence of obesity predicted from two multiple-adjusted linear regression modelsa according to alternative scenarios regarding the consumption of ultra-processed foods. Brazilian households strata in 2002/3 (n = 443) and 2008/9 (n = 550).
Models adjusted for household income per capita, setting (urban/rural), region of the country, percentage of expenditure on eating out of home, proportion of children, women and the elderly in stratum.
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
