评论了 Public health potential of guidelines-based dietary scores for non-communicable diseases mortality prevention: simulation study using the Preventable Risk Integrated ModEl (PRIME) model
Such an elegantly designed study, but a problematic abstract: first, the authors don't give the underlying sample number, only the number of deaths prevented. I know the point is comparing assessment tools, but proving the N would give some context. In addition, the conclusion "results provide some insights as the potential impact of following various dietary guidelines to reduce mortality from nutrition-related diseases" is not so much a conclusion as it is a restatement of the title.

评论了 Disparities in plain, tap and bottled water consumption among US adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2014
Unfortunately, not enough is known about the risks of "inadequate water consumption" on human health to make these findings particularly helpful.

评论了 Does the use of open, non-anonymous peer review in scholarly publishing introduce bias? Evidence from the F1000Research post-publication open peer review publishing model
It may be that the evidence of biased reviews of reviewers in a specific country toward works by researchers in the same country is due to the (sometimes atrocious) translation to the reviewer's first language. Unfortunately, the abstract doesn't actually say in which direction they observed bias.

评论了 Housing structure and occupant behaviour to increase the environmental and health co-benefits of housing: Insights from expert interviews in New Zealand
A nice write-up, but I am puzzled by what this statement means, in context: "Schools and the local community were identified as suitable settings." Settings for what?
