Reviewer 3 Report
Dear authors,
The topic of the article is one of great interest and the approach is appropriate. I have indicated some changes that I consider useful to increase the value of the work. The most important of these concerns the reformulation of the Conclusions.
So,
Line 19: Enter some additional details about the method used.
Lines 23-25: The use of quotations is not indicated in the Abstract. Remove the quotation marks and rephrase the sentence.
Line 29: Rephrase the text "and lifestyle are also restricted, confusion and difficulties", the meaning is not clear.
Lines 62-64: Rephrase the objectives of the article, it is not very clear what you want to find out through the research.
Table 4: Change the font on the Variable column
Discussion: Move the research output from Conclusions to the beginning of the Discussion chapter
Conclusions: Highlight the significance of the research findings. Show how they relate to the objectives of the article.
Move the paragraph about research limitations (lines 213-216) to the end of Conclusions.
In line 214 use "we" instead of "I".
With these changes, I believe that the article can be considered for publication. Success!

Round 2
Reviewer 3 Report
Lines 250-255: I suggest to move the presentation of numerical data (percentages) also to the Discussions, and to keep in the Conclusions only formulations like "increased", "decreased", with references to the previous analysis.
