Reviewer 2 Report
Dear Authors,
Thank you very much to Editor for inviting me to review your publication. Congratulations on your research on the field of Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire in the next country (Saudies). Translation and validation of the AEBQ was carried out using similar tools as in other countries. The adaptation of this validated method for Saudi Arabia provides opportunities to use it to assess individuals who require intervention for their weight, eating habits and to identify eating disorders. As the authors themselves write, there are few Arabic tools for assessing eating behavior.
Below are my suggestions / comments:
A pilot study of a 20-person sample was conducted.
Validation of the questionnaire was carried out.
Study sample size calculated properly, but I have doubts that the sample was representative.
Statistical analysis was carried out using multivariate analyses.
