In the article titled “Prevalence of Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Epidemiological Studies” [1], there were errors in the figures, where Figure 2 was missing from the article and replaced by Figure 5, and Figures 3 and 4 were reversed. The correct figures are shown below:

Figure 4: Subgroup analysis of the comparison of overall asthma prevalence between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals by Aboriginal type.
