1. On page 2, ‘Statistical analysis’ section the following sentence is incorrect:

The odds model was used for analysis of the association between the outcomes both on the physical dimensions (physical functioning; role functioning, physical; freedom from pain; and physical health) and on the psychological dimensions (role functioning; emotional; vitality; emotional well-being; social functioning; general health; and mental health) over time and between the intervention versus the control group.

The correct sentence is:

The odds model was used for analysis of the association between the outcomes both on the physical dimensions (physical functioning; role functioning, physical; freedom from pain; and physical health) and on the psychological dimensions (role functioning, emotional; vitality; emotional well-being; social functioning; general health; and mental health) over time and between the intervention versus the control group.

2. On page 3, the sentence ‘The proportions for the physical and mental dimensions of QoL by time are shown in figures 1 and 2.’ should be ‘The proportions for the physical and mental dimensions of QoL by time are shown in figures 2 and 3.’

3. In figure 3, the middle left panel should be titled ‘Social functioning’ and the lower left panel should be titled ‘General health’.

4. Reference 7 is incorrect. The corrected reference is:
