Due to a typographical error, the coding for male and female in the equations in Table 2 was inadvertently interchanged. In the developed equations 0 represented females and 1 represented males. The first equation has been corrected from

“Arms LST (kg) = 0.940 × sex (0 = male; 1 = female) + 0.042 × total body weight (kg) + 0.080 × RI + 0.024 × Xc − 3.927”.

to

“Arms LST (kg) = 0.940 × sex (0 = female; 1 = male) + 0.042 × total body weight (kg) + 0.080 × RI + 0.024 × Xc − 3.927”.

The second equation has been corrected from

“Legs LST (kg) = 1.983 × sex (0 = male; 1 = female) + 0.154 × total body weight (kg) + 0.127 × RI − 1.147”.

to

“Legs LST (kg) = 1.983 × sex (0 = female; 1 = male) + 0.154 × total body weight (kg) + 0.127 × RI − 1.147”.

The footnote in Table 2 was also corrected from “For sex, 0 = male and 1 = female”

to “For sex, 0 = female and 1 = male”.

The ‘Results’ section of the abstract was also revised accordingly. The sentence “The developed prediction equations were as follows: arm LST = 0.940 × sex (0 = male; 1 = female) + 0.042 × total body weight (kg) + 0.080 × RI + 0.024 × Xc − 3.927; leg LST = 1.983 × sex (0 = male; 1 = female) + 0.154 × total body weight (kg) + 0.127 × RI − 1.147” should read “The developed prediction equations were as follows: arm LST = 0.940 × sex (0 = female; 1 = male) + 0.042 × total body weight (kg) + 0.080 × RI + 0.024 × Xc − 3.927; leg LST = 1.983 × sex (0 = female; 1 = male) + 0.154 × total body weight (kg) + 0.127 × RI − 1.147”. The authors apologize for this error. The original article has been corrected.
