Title: Association of “A Body Shape Index” with the risk of developing colorectal cancer in
U.S. patients with metabolic syndrome: Evidence from the NHANES 1999-2018
Version: 1 Date: 15 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
1) It would be beneficial to conduct the analysis using additional diagnostic criteria for metabolic
syndrome (MetS), such as the IDF criteria.
2) Information regarding risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC), such as an individual's diet
and physical activity levels, has not been collected. Additional key risk factors include family
history, polyps, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
3) The ROC curve analysis should incorporate the waist-to-height squared (Waist-to-Height²)
ratio, as this parameter is more appropriate compared to those previously utilized.
4) In the section on logistic regression, it is essential to describe the method used to select
the variables included in the multivariate model, as well as how the assumptions of logistic
regression were assessed.
