Abstract
The effects of sensory loss on social structure and function in different age and sex groups are poorly understood. We analyzed a population based sample of 21,241 Canadian adults to determine if hearing loss (HL), vision loss (VL) or dual sensory loss (DL) were associated with social network size, social participation, availability of social support, and loneliness, respectively, and whether age or sex modified the associations. VL was associated with reduced social network size in males and low social participation in all age/sex groups. DL was associated with reduced network size and participation in 65–85 year olds. All forms of sensory loss were associated with reduced social support and loneliness. The results might be explained by mobility challenges resulting from VL and DL, and communication problems arising from HL, VL and DL. Individuals with sensory impairments should be targeted for interventions that increase social engagement and support and reduce loneliness.

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
