Reviewer's report:
Dear authors,
Thank you for addressing the provided comments. As highlighted by the other respected
reviewer, a significant limitation of the study is the reliance on self-reported data for the presence
of gallstones. I believe it would be more appropriate to include this point in the methods section
of the abstract, rather than presenting it as a limitation in the conclusions section.
