Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The paper addresses an important and interesting topic. However, some wordings are not correct or unclear, and make it difficult to read. Methods section : The paragraph from L165 to 172 is unclear and needs to be revised. Results section : - To avoid this distorted aspect of the forest plots (Figure 3), logarithmic scale is often used. - There is some missing information in the titles of figures and tables : number of participants, name of the study, time and place of the study. -What were the effects of MVPA and Mediterranean diet in the models ? Were they significant? Were they as expected ? -Were the interactions between MVPA and socioecoeconomic status and Mediterranean diet and socioeconomic status tested ? The second part of the conclusion is unclear and needs to be revised.Comments on the writing :
There are many unclear or incorrect phrasings which need to be clarified: L89, L96, L115-116, L123-124, L144-145, L150, L238, L280, L272, L295, L300-302, L317, L357, L379, L396, L 427, L428-429, L439, L447-451
