Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Cigarette smoking has reached epidemic proportions in many Asian countries, and epidemiologists predict massive increases in the number of smoking-related deaths in future decades. This information is of great interest to insurers who would like to sell coverage in these markets with smoker/nonsmoker-distinct pricing. This review examines excess mortality due to cigarette smoking in Asia as determined by a second-quarter 1998 Internet search of the world’s English-language medical literature for references published during the preceding five years. Studies to date which observed fairly low relative risks of mortality in smokers compared with nonsmokers in Asia despite a high prevalence of smoking can be explained by the fact that health outcome data represent early experience. Given similar associations between smoking and mortality in Asian and Western studies, it is likely that mortality patterns of smokers in Asia eventually will mirror those seen in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
