Reader Comments:
1. Although the authors' goal was to evaluate the coronary arteries and clinical aspects of young and middle-aged male CHD patients, the publication did not specify an age range for the young and middle-aged groups.
2. The definition from several references:
2.1 "People between the ages of 40 and 60 are usually considered to be middle-aged." From https://www.collinsdictionary.com/
dictionary/english/middle-aged.
2.2 "Definition of middle age: the period of life from about 45 to about 64. From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/
middle%20age.
2.3 "Defined as being between the ages of 40 and 60. From https://www.britannica.com/science/middle-age.
3. In the manuscript, The patients’ ages ranged from 33 to 77 (60.63 ± 5.48) years, not in the range of middle-age group.
4. In table 1, the middle-age group (n = 55) was 71.36 ± 5.43 years, this was not the correct definition of middle age.
5. It's mean that the results were not represented the middle-age group of male poppulation.
