Title: Elevated fasting glucose level increases the risk of fatty liver disease: A 10-year study
of 31,154 individuals
Version: 5 Date: 11 Nov 2022
Reviewer's report:
The authors have revised their manuscript and responded to my comments.  The supplemental
data has been translated to English. However, I found some of their responses to be inadequate.
1. The authors still did not adequately answer my question about how they selected the variables
to control for. What do the authors mean by "factors most associated with occurrence of FLD"?
This statement is extremely vague.  If this was based on prior literature/knowledge, please
provide citations. This needs to be clearly stated in the methods section.
2. I understand that having a large sample makes data collection difficult, but it should not be an
excuse for not having data such as comorbidities. Please avoid stating "Due to the large sample
size" in the paragraph on limitations.  Please simply state that you don't have these data.
