Correction: Predictive Value of a Profile of Routine Blood Measurements on Mortality in Older Persons in the General Population: The Leiden 85-Plus Study.

There is an error in the Table 2 legend. The values representing the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile limits of Homocysteine laboratory results stratified for sex are incorrect. Please see the corrected Table 2 here.

Data represent hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals, calculated with the univariate Cox-proportional hazard model

Laboratory results are divided into sex-dependent quartiles

25th, 50th and 75th percentile limits of laboratory results stratified for sex:

Hemoglobin: male 12.5–13.4–14.2 g/dL; female 12.0–12.8–13.6 g/dL

Hemoglobin: male 12.5–13.4–14.2 g/dL; female 12.0–12.8–13.6 g/dL

Alanine transaminase: male 11-15-20 U/L; female: 11-14-17 U/L

Albumin: male: 4.0–4.2–4.4 g/dL; female: 4.0–4.2–4.4 g/dL

Creatinin clearance: male: 39.4–47.2–53.9 ml/min; female: 36.8–43.4–50.8 ml/min

C-reactive protein: male: 2-4-8 mg/L; female: 1-4-8 mg/L

Homocysteine: male: 10.9–13.5–17.4 umol/L, female: 10.2–12.2–15.4 umol/L
