Reviewer 2 Report

One remark: the epidemiological nutritional survey covered all the country; biochemical nutritional survey in pregnant women was limited to a capital maternity hospital. This should be emphasized as a "limit" in the Discussion section of your your manuscript.

Editing correction:
line 168: "supplierStatistical" to be changed in "supplier. Statistical"

Author Response

Point 2: line 168: "supplierStatistical" is changed in "supplier. Statistical
