Control Study
Version: 0 Date: 04 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
Dear editor,
The present manuscript investigates the relationship between Dietary and Lifestyle Indices for
Hyperinsulinemia and Colorectal Cancer Risk in a case-control study. The manuscript needs
major revisions. My comments are as follows:
Note: The data of this study was collected in the years 2008 to 2010 and now almost 13 years
have passed since the study was conducted and the lifestyle of people in the society has changed.
Abstract
1. Add basic participant information in the findings.
2. Add in the method how the ELIH and EDIH indicators were measured.
3. It is necessary that the keywords are based on the MeSH
4. It is better not to use the “so”. The English language of the manuscript needs to be edited
by a native person.
Introduction
5. The study was conducted in Iran. Why is the Middle East mentioned in the aim of the study
(end line). The aim of the study should be clear.
6. In the third paragraph of the introduction, where you reported the results of previous studies,
summarize before finishing the first paragraph and then start the next paragraph.
Methodology
7. The data of this study was collected in the years 2008 to 2010 and now almost 13 years have
passed since the study was conducted and the lifestyle of people in the society has changed.
Why the manuscript is submitted so late? The editor must decide in this regard
8. In the method, explain how you scored the foods to create the two variables ELIH and EDIH
Results
9. The text of the results is very brief and incomplete. It is necessary to write at least 20% of
the information in the tables in the form of text
10. Move energy and fiber from Table 1 to Table 2.
11. How is physical activity scored?
12. In table 3 for model 2, on what basis did you select and adjust the confounders? Because in
Table 1, all the variables that you adjusted had no significant difference in the two groups!
Discussion
13. In the first paragraph of the discussion, you do not need to repeat the aim of the study. I
suggest you write the important findings of the study in one paragraph
14. In the second and third paragraphs, you reported several results of the studies, but there
was no discussion. It is necessary to provide a justification and conclusion for similarities and
contradictions at the end of each paragraph.
Conclusion
15. Correct the conclusion with more appropriate sentences
