Whilst working on an update of our study published in 2014 (original article), we have discovered an error in the measure of effort-reward imbalance (ERI) in this study, leading to errors in Table 3 for (1) the prevalence of exposure to ERI, and (2) the fractions of cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders attributable to ERI, attributable fractions (AF) being calculated from exposure prevalence and relative risk. This error has led to overestimated exposure prevalences and AFs. However, the results have been unchanged for the differences between countries, as well as for the non-significance of AFs for cardiovascular diseases and the significance of AFs for mental disorders. The corrected results are presented in Table 3 (corrected). The corrections do not change our main conclusions.
