  eLife Assessment

  This study is a valuable contribution to the evidence base. However, the evidence provided is incomplete as the study results only partially support the study conclusions. Addressing the methodological and reporting issues raised by the peer reviewers and properly aligning the claim made for providing a tool for early warning with the study analysis/results would improve the study quality and usefulness of its findings.

  eLife Assessment

  This important study uses Mendelian Randomization to provide evidence that early-life reproductive phenotypes (i.e., age at onset of menarche and age at first birth) have a significant impact on numerous health outcomes later in life. The empirical evidence provided by the authors supporting the antagonistic pleiotropy theory is solid. Theories of aging should be empirically tested and this study provides a good first step in that direction.

  eLife Assessment

  This study presents a valuable meta-analysis that highlights low and highly variable breast cancer survival rates across Africa, emphasizing the pressing need for public health in Africa. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is solid, although a clarification of the crude 5-year survival rates would have strengthened the study. The work will be of interest to scientists working in the field of public health and breast cancer.
