" It should read: "Because physical examination did not include breast palpation until 10.5 years of age in this study... " On page e629, column 1, paragraph 2, lines 1–3, the authors wrote: "Neither our study nor the study by Davison et al9 used breast palpation for assessing puberty on physical examination." It should read: "Similar to the study by Davison et al,9 our study did not use breast palpation for assessing puberty on physical examination at 9.5 years of age, although palpation was performed for girls starting at 10.5 years of age."
