Reviewer 2 Report

It seems to me that it is well designed and executed and that it is relevant to be published, as it can serve as a model for validation in other countries. I think that it should only be improved regarding table 2, in which there is redundant information, with putting in the title of the table that there are 93 women, the corresponding row can be eliminated, later in age, if the important thing is set the age groups, putting the mean age and standard deviation in the text could eliminate that row and finally, if the absolute frequency (%) is put in the column heading, it is no longer necessary to include the% symbol in all% of rows.
I think that by modifying those details, the article can be published
