Unfortunately in Table 1⇓, as published, some of the age and height coefficients for males and females had not been converted into SI units. This had no significant effect on the carbon monoxide transfer coefficient (KCO) values, all of which were expressed in SI units in the original Table, or on the main conclusion of the Correspondence article, that there were no important differences for KCO between females and males.
