Due to an unfortunate error, interpretation of the ORTO-7 cut-off score is incorrect.

The errors in the manuscript are located in three places:

  1. 1.

    Last sentence of the Abstract.

    “Analysis of cut-offs revealed that a cut-off score of equal or greater than 19 on the ORTO-7 represents probable orthorexia.” should read “Analysis of cut-offs revealed that a cut-off score of equal or less than 19 on the ORTO-7 represents probable orthorexia.”.

  2. 2.

    In the Discussion section (fifth sentence in the third paragraph).

    “Based on an ROC analyses, scores equal to 19 or more are likely to represent probable orthorexia.” should read “Based on an ROC analyses, scores equal to 19 or less are likely to represent probable orthorexia.”.

  3. 3.

    In the Discussion section (Third sentence in the last paragraph).

    “A cut-off score equal to 19 or more is likely to represent probable orthorexia.” should read “A cut-off score equal to 19 or less is likely to represent probable orthorexia.”.

We apologize for the errors made.
