Abstract
The study objective is to evaluate the influence of attrition from a paediatric weight management program (PWM) on health indicators over a 2-year period. In this observational study, children and youth with obesity were recruited at entry into a family-based behaviour modification PWM and had four research study visits, independent of clinic visits, over 2 years. Participants were divided into attrition groups based on length of clinic enrolment. Body composition, cardiometabolic health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were assessed. Among 269 children enrolled, 19% had no clinic treatment visit, 16% had treatment visits only up to 6 months, 23% up to 1 year and 42% had at least one clinic visit after 1 year (No Attrition). Greater declines in BMI z-score and body fat were seen at 2 years in children with No Attrition, while improvements in HRQoL were similar for all attrition groups. Children who attended at least one treatment visit reported improved HRQoL up to 2 years, regardless of duration in clinic. In contrast, declines in body fat and BMI z-score were greater at 2 years for those with at least one visit after 1 year. Continued efforts to reduce attrition are likely to improve anthropometric health outcomes during PWM.

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
