Erratum

In the article entitled “Rising Social Inequalities in US Childhood Obesity, 2003–2007” by Singh et al., in the January 2010 issue of Annals of Epidemiology (Volume 20, Number 1, pages 40-52), the fourth sentence of the “Results” section of the abstract should read as follows:

In 2007, Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and American Indian children had 3.0–3.8 times higher odds of obesity and overweight than Asian children; children from low-income and low-education households had 3.4–4.3 times higher odds of obesity than children from higher socioeconomic households.

The third sentence of the third paragraph on page 45 should also read as follows:

The full extent of racial/ethnic disparities can be seen for 2007; after adjusting for age and gender, Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and American Indian children had 3.4 to 3.8 times higher odds of obesity and 3.0 to 3.5 times higher odds of overweight than Asian children.
