Improved Understanding of Interactions between Risk Factors for Child Obesity May Lead to Better Designed Prevention Policies and Programs in Indonesia

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors significantly improved the manuscript and addressed most of my previous comments (I still do no agree with reporting the figures but it’s their choice). It is very appropriate they reported the instrument used, clarifying some issues about the material and methods. The discussion still report minor off-topic perspective but I am generally satisfied on the content.

Title: Combinations of Fruit-and-Vegetable and Junk Food Intakes and Sedentary Behavior May Affect Risk of Child Obesity in Indonesia

Overview and general recommendations:

Dear authors,
first, thank you for the opportunity to review this manuscript which describes the

risk of Obesity in Indonesia taking into considerations some factors such as Fruit-and-Vegetable, Junk Food Intakes and Sedentary Behavior, as well as their associations.

The manuscript deals with a timely topic for developing countries (childhood obesity) which is appropriate for the Journal scope and area of interest.

However, the authors need to make clearer the originality of this study. There are other research studies which show correlations between the factors highlighted in this work. The novelty of the approach needs further investigation.

My suggestion is to improve the quality of the manuscript, especially the discussion, before further considering it for publication.

the argument is interesting and the experiment is well designed. The introduction has to be improved and extended. Some inaccuracies in the text. The references section has to be arranged using the guidelines of Nutrients.
