Reviewer:  Kuen-chang Hsieh
Reviewer's report:
Thanks to the authors for the additional information. According to the authors' supplementary
information, the "semiautomatic software" used to calculate muscle mass in this study was
developed by Jae-Hoon Kim, et al. in Korea. It should be clearly stated in the manuscript
that this study used the software "Semi-automatic measurement tool (BMI CT ver 6.0)" to
measure muscle mass. Rather than using "Matlab" to develop. "Matlab" was just a development
environment. Authors are advised to correct information related to the manuscript.
