Reviewer 2 Report

First of all I would like to congratulate the authors of this research, however it is necessary to improve the research so that it can be published. 

First of all, adapt the research to the journal's template. Likewise, the bibliography should be adapted to the journal's standards. 

The theoretical framework is well contextualized, however I suggest adding the following research:

Public Health 2021, 18, 13166. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph182413166

Likewise, the research presents a reliable analysis of the data and a consistent and well-developed methodological framework. The instruments used have been previously validated by the scientific community. 

 

Finally, I suggest revising the wording of the research and revising the English.

English redaction must be improved.

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear Authors,

Thank you for the opportunity to review this manuscript. In my opinion, the publication requires minor corrections and additions.

1. Keywords should be different than in the title - words in the title are already keywords.

2. Please describe in detail what standards and ranges of standards you have taken into account? I find it very debatable that you set standards based on your material for both girls and boys combined - is that it? For children, BMI norms are more sensitive than for adults. Please respond to the methodological problem.

3. Test values should be provided in the tables, e.g. tab. 3 - no Kruskal-Wallis test value.

4. In the tables, the % values do not add up to 100 - eg in table 2 - please correct it.

5. In my opinion, all analyzes must be done separately for boys and girls - just as the norms are separate for the sex of children.

6. Editorial errors, spelling errors - to be corrected.

 

Kind regards,

revewier
