Title: Development of A Prediction Model for Predicting the Prevalance of Nonalcoholic Fatty
Liver Disease in Chinese Nurses: The First-Year Follow Data of a Web-Based Ambispective
Cohort Study
Version: 4 Date: 14 Dec 2023
Reviewer's report:
Thank authors for responding the previous suggestions and revising the manuscript accordingly.
There are still minor suggestions.
1. In line 250, the author mentioned that living with spouse and parents were associated with
higher risk of NAFLD. However, in table 2, living with spouse and parents were not significantly
related to NAFLD. Maybe it meant that living with solitary was associated with non-NAFLD.
The author should clarify the dispute.
2. In addition, in table 2, the classification of BMI was non-meaningful because it only meant that
BMI <18.5 was not related to NAFLD. The underweight people were essentially less likely to
have NAFLD. I suggested that the continuous variable of BMI replaced the categorical variable
in the logistic regression even though it could be not significant in the model.
3. The daily sleep time has caught my attention because the daily sleep time 7-8h was significant.
The author can reclassify this variable and the daily sleep time may be significant in the mode.
4. In line 232, the author mentioned that bilirubin was a protective factor against the occurance of
NAFLD. Could it be the reason that some participants with NAFLD have received treatments?
