Correction: Cross-national disparities in non-communicable disease: a universal health coverage-based service coverage index perspective, 2000–2021

A Correction on: Zhou M, Jiang Y, Zhu J, Li Z, Sun H, Gao F and Weng K (2026) Crossnational disparities in non-communicable disease: a universal health coverage-based service coverage index perspective, 2000-2021. Front. Public Health 14:1756485. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2026.1756485 There was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. The right-hand Y-axis labels for panels (a), (b) and (d) showing "Age-standardized Incidence rate per 100,000", "Age-standardized Prevalence rate per 100,000"and "Age-standardized Mortality rate per 100,000" were erroneously denoted as "Agestandardized DALYs rate per 100,000" due to a typographical oversight. The corrected figure 1 appears below.In the section Results, sub-section Global panel fixed-effects model analysis of NCDs, the authors had requested that the phrase "Figure 2b reveals that the coefficient estimate for physicians per 10,000 population is not statistically significant (95% CI includes 0), while health expenditure as a percentage of GDP has a significant positive impact on SCI (95% CI does not include 0)." should be revised to the more conservative statement: "while health expenditure as a percentage of GDP has a positive impact on SCI." However, due to an oversight, the correction instruction itself was inadvertently inserted into the main text instead of implementing the actual revision. A correction has been made to the section Results, sub-section Global panel fixed-effects model analysis of NCDs so that the sentence now reads: "Figure 2b reveals that the coefficient estimate for physicians per 10,000 population is not statistically significant (95% CI includes 0), while health expenditure as a percentage of GDP has a positive impact on SCI."The original version of this article has been updated.
