The authors regret to announce that there are some numerical errors in Table 1 in the paper by Bates et al.(Reference Bates, Hamer and Mishra1). The correct values should be:
Plasma α-tocopherol (males): range = 7·3–77·3
Plasma Se (males): mean = 955, and the units of plasma Se should be nmol/l.
Vitamin E intake (females): range = 0·8–621.
