Abstract
Data on adolescents' dietary intake are essential to improve their diets and nutrition. However, the availability of (high-quality) data on adolescents' dietary intake is scarce with great global differences. We conducted a systematic scoping review to investigate the availability, characteristics, and gaps in global adolescent dietary data, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses-Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist and guidelines (registered under PROSPERO no. 171170 https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/). We included peer-reviewed and grey literature articles (2010 onwards) on the dietary intake of male and female adolescents (10-24 y). Studies from all countries and languages and including any information related to types of food consumed, diet composition, dietary diversity, or meal patterns were considered. We excluded studies with insufficient methodological information, unclear description of population, samples sizes <25, school-based data sets containing <6 schools, and studies that focused on pregnant or unhealthy study populations. Data, including year(s) of data collection, age, gender, sample size, dietary assessment methods, number of food items/groups, study design, location, and representativeness, were extracted. A total of 52,889 titles were identified and 722 articles, describing 1,322 data sets, were retained for analysis. Nationally representative, detailed dietary data for adolescents aged 10-24 y are still lacking, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and low-income countries. Data quality and representativeness remain limited, highlighting the need for data disaggregation by age, gender, locality, comprehensive dietary information, and broader geographic coverage. A notable amount of data was available through grey literature, especially in data-scarce countries. The study underscores the importance of addressing adolescent nutrition, emphasizing the urgent need for more robust, accessible, and representative data on adolescents' dietary intake to support effective nutritional efforts.

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
