Correction: five-year predictors of physical activity decline among adults in low-income communities: a prospective study

Abstract

Abstract After publication it was brought to our attention that the information for one of the variables in Table 1 was incorrect (Weiss, O'Loughlin et al. International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity 2007, 4:2). The variable in question is "Use of a neighborhood facility for activity". In the first column, the first row should read "yes", and the second row, "no". In the second column, the first row should read 25.8 (41) and the second row, 41.3 (152). Table 1 Unadjusted and adjusted Odds Ratios for potential predictors of becoming inactive [1].
