Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) plant commonly used in Aydın province, Turkey: women's menstrual and menopausal symptoms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of using Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) plant on menstrual and menopausal symptoms in district where VAC is commonly used. Methods The menstrual and menopausal symptoms of a total of 225 women aged between 18-65, living in Aydın province, Turkey, and its districts, who either used VAC or not were compared, following purposive sampling method. The research data were collected with an online survey form between March and December 2021. The data collected from the women in the VAC group (n=104, 46.2%) and the women in the non-VAC (n=121, 53.8%) group were compared in this study. Results It was found that the rate of experiencing symptoms before menstruation was higher in women who did not take VAC compared to the women who took VAC ( P < 0.05). Almost all of those who experienced menopausal symptoms were in the group that did not take VAC. Conclusion The type, duration and time of VAC use were associated with the effect of menstruation on daily life, but not with menopausal symptoms.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
