We read with particular interest the response of Morales Salinas et al. and we see fit to write a new reflection.The comment made by the authors on the crucial point of our previous letter called greatly our attention: the treatment of the age variable as an inclusion criterion for the study, which was selected in that way and not in any other, so that it would allow the realization of future publications that facilitate international comparison through a population registry.
