Title: Temporal trends in disability adjusted life year and mortality for colorectal cancer
attributable to a high red meat diet in China from 1990 to 2021: an analysis of the Global Burden
of Disease Study 2021

Reviewer:  Yi-Chuan Yu
Reviewer's report:
I enjoy reading this manuscript with a few minor suggestions.
1. Line 50: please provide proper statistics on why CRCs in China are mostly diet-related risk
factors. How about improper/insufficient colonoscopy procedures?
2. Line 152: is there a particular reason to set the significance level to 0.054?
3. Have the authors checked the assumptions of linear regression?
4. In general, most studies on similar topics include red meat and processed meat. The study
will be more comprehensive if the authors can include processed meat as an additional interest
as well.
5. Line 523-528 presented generic statements and are necessary to be included.
6. Table 1, Please re-format some of the tables so the numbers are easier to follow. Each cell
in the table should have only 1 line of numbers, not multiple. Please keep all decimal places
consistent in one table. For example, if the authors wanted to use 4 decimal places, please do
so with all cells in the table.
