Correction: Slower respiration rate is associated with higher self-reported well-being after wellness training
The original version of this Article contained an error in the Results section under the subheading 'Overview and demographics' , where the effect sizes for the associations between respiration rate and demographic factors (age and sex) were incorrectly reported.As a result, "Older participants had significantly slower RR, such that a 1 year increase in age corresponded to 1.35 breaths/ minute decrease in RR (p < 0.01, 95% CI=[-1.73,-0.96]).Participants with asthma were significantly younger than meditators (p=0.01,b=6.46, 95% CI= [-11.31,-1.62]) and non-meditators without asthma (p<0.01,b=-7.64,95% CI= [-11.31,-3.96]).There was no difference in pre-training, baseline RR in non-meditators with and without asthma (p=0.55,b=0.30, 95% CI=[-0.68,1.27]).There was no effect of sex on RR (p=0.94,b=0.00, 95% CI=[-0.02,0.02])." now reads: "Older participants had significantly slower RR, such that a 1-year increase in age corresponded to .11breaths/ minute decrease in RR (p < 0.01, 95% CI=[-.15,-0.08]).Participants with asthma were significantly younger than meditators (p=0.01, b=6.46,) and non-meditators without asthma (p<0.01,b=-7.64,95% CI= [-11.31,-3.96]).There was no difference in pre-training, baseline RR in non-meditators with and without asthma (p=0.55, b=0.30, 1.27]).There was no effect of sex on RR (p=0.70,b=0.19, 1.16]).
