Specific comments on weaknesses of the article and what could be done to improve it

The authors mentioned some limitations; first, because of its cross-sectional in nature, we could not take multiple measurements and confirm the diagnosis of diabetes and hypertension. Similarly, there was a risk of recall bias while recording dietary and medication history and assessing seven days physical activities. This study might also have encountered measurement errors while collecting data through anthropometric, clinical and biochemical measurements.
