Reviewer 2 Report
1. The introduction would benefit from specifying the population size of children and adolescents in selected communities.
2. On table 4, the age groups presented have a discrepancy; they group children aged 36 to 47 and then they include in the next category 47 to 59.
3. In the discussion paragraph 3, they explain the results previously stated; it can be simplified to conclusions.
4. Throughout the article, they mention protein intake, vitamin intake, calcium, etc., but the sources of food are not clearly stated. It should be interesting to know this, as it is stated in the results adressing the sources of drinking water.
5. The discussion can be improved by comparing the results to more articles or research, preferably conducted in different contexts.
6. Lastly, I would like to congratulate the research team on this article. It takes into account all the resources the community receives and contemplates that even though there are a lot of policies, there is an important problem on malnutrition. It is a sensible approach to culturally diverse communities such as Indigenous people, and gives a global approach to this health disparity.
