Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter explains how current theories, models, and frameworks can help us to approach and understand health, frailty, disease, and illness, and how they relate to the healthcare of frail elders. It identifies some of the more dominant models and frameworks proposed to illustrate or describe the phenomena of health, frailty, illness, and disease, with a special focus on the possible effects of oral health and frailty on personal comfort, well-being, and quality of life. And, finally, it explains through a metatheory how several different dominant theories together form a realistic conceptual foundation for the oral healthcare of older people, and by which care providers can appreciate the complexity of the personal and environmental predicament in which people live when old and frail.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
