The original version of this Article contained errors.


In the Results section, under the subheading ‘Population attributable fraction (PAF)’,


“The trajectories including exposure to overweight or obesity at any point of life were associated to the highest population attributable fraction in both sexes (PAF: 36.82%, 95% CI 0.29%–0.43% for women and PAF: 36.71%, 95% CI 28.08%–44.31% for men).”


now reads:


“The trajectories including exposure to overweight or obesity at any point of life were associated to the highest population attributable fraction in both sexes (PAF: 36.82%, 95% CI 29.48%–43.40% for women and PAF: 36.71%, 95% CI 28.08%–44.31% for men).”


In Table 2, the Total, Cumulative incidence (%) for “Stable normal weight” was incorrect.


“0.66”


now reads:


“6.64”


In Table 3, the values for Women, Adjusted RR (95% CI) for “Stable overweight” and “Overweight from early adulthood” and Men, Adjusted RR (95% CI) for “Overweight from early adulthood” were incorrect. Furthermore the value for Men, Adjusted ARD% (95% CI) for “Stable overweight” was incorrect. The original Table 3 and accompanying legend appear below.


In the legend of Figure 3,


“Compared to the stable normal trajectory group, the overall proportion of type 2 diabetes cases attributable to any trajectory of overweight or obesity through the life course was 47.40% (95% CI 38.06–55.34%) for women and 42.91% (95% CI 31.47–52.45%) for men.”


now reads:


“Compared to the stable normal trajectory group, the overall proportion of type 2 diabetes cases attributable to any of the life-course weight trajectories was 47.40% (95% CI 38.06–55.34%) for women and 42.91% (95% CI 31.47–52.45%) for men.”


Lastly, the Supplementary Table S2, S3 and S4 legends were omitted. The original Supplementary Information file is provided below.
