Effect of iodine‐iron interactions on iodine status in double‐fortified salt intervention with female Indian tea pluckers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previous research showed that consuming iron‐fortified salt improves iron status. Interactions between iodine and iron in double‐fortified salt (DFS) may alter the effect of DFS on iodine status. A randomized, controlled, double‐blind trial was conducted to test the efficacy of DFS as a mechanism to improve iron status. Subjects were 217 female tea pluckers, aged 19–55 yrs, from West Bengal, India. The subjects were randomly assigned to receive iodized salt (controls) or DFS for 10 months. Blood indicators of iron status were measured at baseline and end line, including hemoglobin, serum ferritin, and serum transferrin receptor. Iodine status was determined at baseline and end line by urinary iodine concentration. Subjects consuming DFS had significant improvement in iron status relative to controls. We examined the modifying effect of baseline iodine and iron status and change in iron status across the intervention on the change in iodine status. The results are discussed in the context of designing interventions in multiple‐micronutrient‐deficient settings.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
