Author Correction: Sleep chart of biological ageing clocks in middle and late life

The Nature article "Sleep chart of biological ageing clocks in middle and late life" has been corrected to include two previously omitted studies. The corrections add Li et al. (2022) which explored the brain structure and genetic mechanisms linking sleep duration, cognition, and mental health. Additionally, Li et al. (2025) has been included, which examined divergent biological pathways connecting short and long sleep durations to mental and physical health.

The corrections were made by researchers from Columbia University, Melbourne Medical School, the University of Melbourne, National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, Columbia University Medical Center, University of California, San Francisco, Imperial College London, King’s College London, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and other affiliated institutions.
