Do Older Women of Reproductive Age Have Better Diet Quality than Younger Women of Reproductive Age?
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a refreshingly brilliant piece of research. The research is novel, well-conducted, and superbly written.
I have just 3 minor suggestions:
1) I can't seem to locate footnote 1 in Table 1.
2) Table 4 needs reformatting - it may be that something has gone wrong when it was uploaded.
3) Please add P-values to tables 1, 2 & 3.

To the Editor,
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to revise our paper for potential publication in Nutrients. We have addressed the comments in our revision. In the sections below we detail our changes and respond to each of the comments. All changes have been undertaken using track changes within the manuscript.
REVIEWER 1:
Comment 1: I can't seem to locate footnote 1 in Table 1.
Response 1: We have now added this: “1 Represents mean (SE)”
Comment 2: Table 4 needs reformatting - it may be that something has gone wrong when it was uploaded.
Response 2: Thankyou, we have now formatted this correctly.
Comment 3: Please add P-values to tables 1, 2 & 3.
Response 3: Table 1 and Table 2 represent descriptives of the population and there are no specific comparisons between groups, nor hypothesis testing. We don’t believe that adding P values to Table 1 or Table 2 are needed. For table 3, all P values are greater than 0.05 between groups. We have added to footnote 1: “all statistical differences between groups in unadjusted and adjusted analyses were P>0.05”.
