Associations between Neighbourhood Disadvantage and Fruit and Vegetable Consumption in Seven Countries.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Low consumption of fruit and vegetables is a risk factor for poor health. Some studies have shown consumption varies across neighbourhoods, with lower intake in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. However, findings are far from consistent. Such inconsistencies suggest that socio-spatial inequities in diet may be context-specific, highlighting a need for international comparisons across contexts. Our study examined variations in fruit and vegetable consumption among adults living in neighbourhoods of varying socioeconomic status (SES) across seven countries (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Netherlands, USA, Scotland, Portugal). METHODS: This study used data from seven existing studies with key variables assessed in adults from neighbourhoods of varying SES. Data were harmonised and logistic regression was used to examine associations between neighbourhood SES and binary fruit and vegetable consumption separately, adjusting for neighbourhood clustering and age, gender and education. RESULTS: Analyses showed evidence of an association between neighbourhood SES and fruit consumption ( P < 0.05) in New Zealand, Canada and Scotland. Results showed increased odds of fruit intake in higher SES areas. Results for vegetable intake were less consistent. In Australia, New Zealand and Canada, there was evidence of reduced odds of vegetable consumption for those residing in low SES areas, while in Portugal adults in the highest SES areas had lowest odds of consumption. The other studies showed no difference by SES.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
