Reviewer:  Debashis Misra
Reviewer's report:
At the outset, I would like to congratulate the authors for choosing this topic.
I find the writing lucid and objective.
I would like to have following comments /observations related to the article
1. Inclusion criteria not well described- which subjects from survey were included? Statement/
s for inclusion criteria would be appreciated.
2. As per the Table 1 of baseline characteristics, the patients with sarcopenia had higher BMI
but same group of patients had less frequently the components of metabolic syndrome (diabetes/
hypertension/ dyslipidaemia): it seems like a paradox.
Explanation from authors would be appreciated
3. Grammatical mistakes in spelling needs to be corrected.
