Abstract
Bean consumption increases diet quality and reduces age-related chronic disease risk yet consumption is low among North Americans. Research in older adults regarding the consumption of beans and related health claims may address this gap. The purpose of this study was to explore bean consumption among older adults (65+ years) and their response to health claims in relation to bean consumption. Community-dwelling older adults (n = 250; 76% female) completed a validated researcher-administered questionnaire to explore the prevalence of bean consumption, awareness and acknowledgment of nutrient content claims (NCCs) and nutrient function claims (NFCs), and the likelihood of these claims influencing bean consumption. The prevalence of bean consumption was 51.2%. Awareness of NCCs and NFCs was reported by 94.4% and 64.0% of participants, respectively; and of those aware, these health claims were acknowledged by 91.5% and 85.6% of participants, respectively. Those with a higher education level were significantly more likely to be aware of NCCs and NFCs and acknowledge NFCs. Those with no health conditions and those with a lower level of prescription medication use (≤2 per day) were significantly more likely to be aware of NFCs and NCCs, respectively. Of the nutrients mentioned in NCCs, those most frequently reported to increase bean consumption included dietary fibre (78.0%), iron (71.6%) and calcium (70.0%). For NFCs, the biological roles related to calcium, iron and vitamin B6 were the most frequently reported to increase bean consumption (72.0%, 67.6%, and 64.4%, respectively). This research will help advance dietary strategies that can contribute to healthy aging and promote Ontario agriculture. (Supported by the OMAFRA-University of Guelph partnership).

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
