Psaltopoulou T, Naska A, Orfanos P, Trichopoulos D, Mountokalakis T, Trichopoulou A. Olive oil, the Mediterranean diet, and arterial blood pressure: the Greek European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study. Am J Clin Nutr 2004;80:1012–8.

On page 1014, Table 3, the mean daily intakes of olive oil by men and women were incorrect, although there was no error in the corresponding SDs. The correct mean (±SD) intakes (in g) were 53.6 ± 24.0 for men and 46.4 ± 21.8 for women. A programming error was responsible for this overestimation.

The partial regression coefficients of systolic and diastolic blood pressure on SD increments in olive oil intake and the corresponding 95% CIs and P values (reported in Tables 4 and 5 and throughout the text) were unaffected by this error.
