Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Congratulations to the authors on their excellent work and for the innovative approach of their study. It’s important to keep sex differences in mind, and this research contributes significantly to that understanding. On another note, I would only suggest a few minor formatting improvements to ensure consistency throughout the document.

From line 33 to 64:check the style citations because you forgot to remove the complete citetion. Leave just the number.

Please review the punctuation in the sentence on line 61 to ensure clarity and correct structure. You have left the citation between two dots.

Please review the terminology used for SEM throughout the manuscript. In the abstract, it is referred to as "structural equation multigroup analysis," while in line 151, it is mentioned as "structural equation model." Consistent usage will help maintain clarity for readers.

Please also review the use of abbreviations for consistency. For instance, in line 251, "structural equation multigroup analysis" is spelled out, while in line 253, "SEM" is used. Ensuring consistency throughout the manuscript will enhance readability and clarity.

In line 306, please ensure that the author’s name is included in citation 38, as it currently appears incomplete.
