✦ Synopsis

In Table IIF the confidence interval of the estimated coefficient 1.06 in model A of the summary analysis is 1.05-1.08.

In Table IV the proportions published in the column "Breast women" are proportions of breast cancer cases aged 50 or more and not of all cases. The corrected table shown below contains an additional column, "% of all breast," which indicates proportions of all breast cancer cases attributable to excess weight. For the European Union it is 6.6% as stated in the text.
