Obesity and Diabetes in the Developing World — A Growing Challenge . The second sentence of the article (page 213) should have read "About 18 million people die every year from cardiovascular disease," rather than "58 million." Also, the last sentence of the same paragraph should have read "This task force and the World Health Organization (WHO) have revised the definition of obesity to adjust for ethnic differences, and this broader definition may reflect an even higher prevalence — with 1.7 billion people classified as overweight worldwide," rather than "with 1.7 billion children classified." The text has been corrected on the Journal's Web site at www.nejm.org.
