Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Evidence of the association between childhood obesity and neighbourhood crime is inconclusive. Most previous studies have included children of all ages, and few have examined different types of crime. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between obesity and eight different types of crime (i.e. commercial robbery, street robbery, assault, other violence, commercial break and enter, residential break and enter, theft of vehicle and theft from vehicle) among 4- to 7-year-old children in a large western Canadian city. METHODS: = 10,069) using spatial analysis and hierarchical generalized linear modelling. The outcome variable was normal weight or obesity. The exposure variable was the distance between the child's residential postal code and the closest occurrence of each type of crime. RESULTS: Controlling for distance to the closest park, frequency of each type of crime in the child's neighbourhood and neighbourhood factors (proportion of visible minorities, education and median family income), there was no association between any of the crime types and childhood obesity. CONCLUSIONS: Crime did not contribute to obesity in this sample of 4- to 7-year-old children. Replication of this study in other jurisdictions would increase confidence in these results.

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
