The author falls into a common problem for individuals not well schooled in epidemiological methods. We used for this study: odds ratios. These are different from relative risks. Moreover, we combined all obesity categories (often individuals with obesity and individuals with morbid obesity were presented separately). We combined them. In addition, for articles where the authors did not calculate RR's or ORs, we calculated them.URL
