Excerpt

In the original publication of the article, the following errors have occurred. In Table 1, the labels “No” and “Yes” of the first six variables to assess social support (SS1 to SS6), and “Not living together” and “Living together” of the characteristic “Marital status” have been reversed inadvertently. In Table 2, the mean of “Social support (SS1-7)” among men should be 5.80 instead of 5.79. In the fourth line from the bottom on page 624, the sentence “Third, they numbered about 28,000” should read, “Third, they numbered about 23,000”. Also, in the third line from the bottom of page 624, “This is more than 30 times” should read, “This is more than 20 times”.
