Correction to: International Journal of Obesity https://doi.org/10.1038/s41366-021-00900-8, published online 20 July 2021

The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake in the legends of Figs. 1 and 5. The additional sentence to fig. legend 1 is: The color lines represent each of the racial/ethnic groups: Purple = African American; Red = Asian; Green = Latino; Blue = White. The additional sentence to fig. legend 5 is: The color lines represent each of the racial/ethnic groups: Purple = African American; Red = Asian; Green = Latino. The journal apologizes for the omission of the legends. The original article has been corrected per author’s request.
