The blood pressure data that was reported was incorrect. Revised tables of data are below.
In the abstract, the fifth sentence describing the results (page 1685) should be: In the a posteriori DP analysis, YH3 participants adhering most closely to the ‘healthy’ DP were found to have lower pulse wave velocity (PWV) and homocysteine concentrations, the ‘sweet tooth’ DP were found to have increased LDL concentrations and decreased HDL concentrations, the ‘drinker/social’ DP were found to have lower LDL and homocysteine concentrations, but exhibited a trend towards a higher TAG concentration, and finally the ‘Western’ DP were found to have elevated homocysteine and HDL concentrations.
In the first paragraph of the Results section (page 1688), sentence 5 should be: SBP and DBP increased significantly from YH1 to YH3 (P<0·001) for males, but decreased significantly from YH1 to YH3 (P<0·05 and P<0·001 respectively) for females.
In the fourth paragraph of the Results section (page 1691), sentences 5 and 6 should be: A high Western dietary pattern score was positively associated with HDL-cholesterol concentrations and homocysteine concentrations in fully adjusted analyses. The fourth and final PCA-derived dietary pattern, sweet tooth, was positively associated with LDL concentrations and inversely associated with HDL concentrations.
The authors apologise for this error.

* For each sex, differences between variables measure at YH1 and YH3 were assessed using paired sample t-tests and categorical data were assessed by McNemar’s test.

* Data analysed using linear regression (unadjusted, adjusted and further adjusted as described with CVD risk factors as the outcome and dietary patterns in quintiles as a continuous variable.)
