closeNo cause effect establishment and missing many details

You have clubbed people consuming fish with vegetarians that is fundamentally wrong. Then comparing sample of 2.2% (the entire vegetarian population) against most similar cases from the remaining 97.8% of the population is a sampling blunder. You also fail to report important details such as case histories, how long have the 'vegetarians' been vegetarians did they have any prevailing health conditions? It is a very common practice that many people already suffering from health conditions decide to go vegetarian in such scenario the claims you make become fiction.

We have listed several aspects in the section regarding limitations of the study. We also say that more in-depth studies about nutritional habits and their effects on health are needed.

Yet you still write in the abstract: "Therefore, public health programs are needed in order to reduce the health risk due to nutritional factors." Seems misleading?
