Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsCongratulation to interesting and relevant work! I have only the following three issues to ask for and potentially modify:
1. Could you please desribe more in details the sample selection? It is very superficially described....Convenience sampling is fine, convenient at what sense? Source population? What about those women who do not go to cosmetologists? Were they fully excluded?
2. why it is important to stress that the sample is cis-gender women? Is there any difference in biological pathway of EDC's on hormonal mechanisms by different gender groups of women? Seems to be irrelevant to me...
3. Could you please simplify the results? there is a lot of information in tables and text and it becomes hard to read....
