Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report


In this paper the authors prospectively look at the consumption of tea, alcohol and fruits with the risk of kidney stone disease for a cohort of 0.5 million Chinese adults.

This is an excellent study which has looked at a large number of patients in a prospective manner and within the limitations that data on fluid intake is self-reported and previous history of stones is not taken account of, it is still able to show that increasing consumption of tea, alcohol, or fruits was associated with lower risk of kidney stones.

Under the limitations, they must also add that the type of fruit taken and the portion size was not known. They should also add the association of kidney stones with metabolic syndrome.

Also, they are missing certain important references which needs to be added –

Reviewer 2 Report

Thank you for the opportunity to review this manuscript. The authors' described their analysis of diet and beverage consumption with risk of kidney stone incidence in the CKB. They have clearly described their rationale, methodologies, and statistical approach, and interpreted the results with appropriate detail and consideration of related literature. I believe the paper can be accepted in its current form.
