Abstract
Higher blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) are risk factors for heart failure. It is unknown whether the presence of these risk factors in midadulthood affect the future development of heart failure. In the community-based Framingham Heart Study, we examined the associations of antecedent blood pressure and BMI with heart failure incidence in later life. We studied 3362 participants (57% women; mean age: 62 years) who attended routine examinations between 1969 and 1994 and examined their systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and BMI at current (baseline), recent (average of readings obtained 1 to 10 years before baseline), and remote (average of readings obtained 11 to 20 years before baseline) time periods. During 67 240 person-years of follow-up, 518 participants (280 women) developed heart failure. Current, recent, and remote systolic pressure; pulse pressure; and BMI were individually associated with incident heart failure (all P<0.001). Recent systolic pressure (hazards ratio [HR] per 1-SD increment: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.11 to 1.55), pulse pressure (HR per 1-SD increment: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.54), and BMI (HR per unit increase: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.23) were associated with heart failure risk even after adjusting for current measures. Similarly, remote systolic pressure (HR per 1 SD: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.04 to 1.31), pulse pressure (HR per 1 SD: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.06 to 1.31), and BMI (HR per unit: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.14) remained associated with incident heart failure after adjusting for current measurements. Higher blood pressure and BMI in midlife are harbingers of increased risk of heart failure in later life. Early risk factor modification may decrease heart failure burden.

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 it
