Abstract
Chronic disease risk increases with age and as the North American older adult population grows, reducing risk is priority. One strategy is a food first approach by encouraging the awareness and consumption of nutrient-dense, health promoting foods such as beans. However, research focused on identifying awareness gaps about beans and their healthful attributes is lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore older adults' awareness of beans in relation to their nutrient profile and role in disease risk. Community dwelling older adults (n = 250; 65+ years; 76% female) completed a researcher-administered validated questionnaire to explore bean consumption and awareness of beans related to their nutrient content and role in health and disease. The majority of older adults considered beans a healthy food and thought consuming them could improve their health (99.2% and 98.0%, respectively); however, only 51.2% were bean consumers. While the majority (83.6%) of older adults were aware that one serving of beans is considered a high source of dietary fibre, bean consumers were significantly more likely to think that consuming beans could improve health areas related to dietary fibre including body weight management, constipation and diabetes. Furthermore, most (84.8%) older adults thought consuming beans could improve heart health; however, bean consumers were significantly more likely to be aware that one serving of beans is considered a low source of nutrients relevant to heart health including total fat, saturated and trans fat, and cholesterol. These data highlight gaps in older adults' awareness of beans and health and can contribute to the development of strategies to increase awareness and consumption.

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
