Title: The relationships between IBS and perceptions of physical and mental health – a
Norwegian twin study
Version: 1 Date: 11 Feb 2022
Reviewer's report:
the self-health test is too synthetic a method to define the quality-of-life unlike SF36, as it
represents a single subjective dimension. Irene Moor et al. J Epidemiol Community Health. 2017
Jun.
the IBS self-diagnosis criteria are not exhaustive of the Rome IV criteria because it does not
consider the chronicity of the disorder. Priya Oka et al. Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2020 Oct.
Selection bias in the control population for self-rated health: absence of questions on cancer
history and surgical history.
The self-assessed mental health indicator (m-SRH) encompasses stress, depression and other
forms of mental problems whose genetics in some cases are known and in others are not.
Therefore, the suggestion that it may be linked to shared genes (MZ 0.23 vs DZ 0.04) is
not univocal because the data can be linked to genetic factors as well as to shared cognitive-
behavioral factors.
