Reply to letter to the editor: “Why 43.5% of Brazilian women with systemic sclerosis have an abnormal 6-min walk distance? The implication of parity”

We thank Dr. Khansa Derbel and Dr. Helmi Ben Saad for their comments (Derbel and Ben Saad, 2023) on our article “Reference value for the 6-min walking distance in women with systemic sclerosis considering the impact of muscle strength” (de Oliveira Saraiva et al., 2023). We would like to take this opportunity to address the concerns that are outlined in their letter.
