摘要

We agree with Landon Kuester and colleagues that there is a need to develop and assess new interventions and policies to address the obesogenic nature of prisons. This should be regarded as a public health priority for these institutions globally. However, we disagree with Jin-Qiu Yuan and colleagues that the literature search we did was not sufficiently comprehensive. We adopted a search strategy that included the grey literature databases, including government sites. In this way we identified several of the Australian studies. We feel that some surveys might be relevant but not easily accessible without specialist support from academics within particular countries.
