Title: Higher Frailty Burden in Older Adults with Chronic Constipation
Version: 4 Date: 26 Jan 2021
Reviewer's report:
The authors have done a great job incorporating feedback from reviewers. My only
recommendation to the text would be to include in the results that slowness and low activity
were the frailty components that had statistically significant differences between the CC and
non-CC groups.  Please see minor suggested edits as follows. Thank you.
Minor notes:
Page 4, 2nd paragraph, last sentence: please add "and" before chronic diseases.
Page 9, 1st paragraph, 1st sentence: please add a space between the words frailty and phenotype.
Page 9, 1st paragraph, 3rd sentence: this newly added sentence appears to be incomplete (perhaps
"there was a" trend?).
Page 10, 2nd paragraph, last sentence: please change "is" to "are" known as factors.
Page 11, 1st paragraph, 2nd-to-last sentence: I think the word "is" is missing:  Conversely, as
CC "is" a possible reversible clinical condition.
