It was highlighted that the original article [
1] contained an error in Table
3. Also, two previous studies (Kamada et al. 2013, Kamada et al. 2015) were mentioned in the Discussion section but were missing from the reference list. This Correction article shows the correct Table
3 and the incorrect and correct citations.

Abstract: “None of the nine studies selected for this systematic review implemented the entire social marketing approach.”
Results: Competition “Four interventions...”
Table
3: (Kamada et al. 2018: Competition: No)

Table

Discussion: “It is difficult to say whether social marketing is useful in promoting PA among seniors since only one of the nine interventions selected used the entire approach (i.e., all seven benchmark criteria).”
