Abstract
Objectives: Frailty reflects the accumulation of health deficits that an individual develops over their lifespan. Walk with a Future Doc (WWAFD) is a medical student-led, community-based education and walking program. We examine the impact of a 12-week WWAFD program on lowering the frailty levels in a New Brunswick community and if the effects of the program would be specific to those with higher pre-WWAFD frailty levels. Methods: Eighty participants (age: 41-85 years; 51 female individuals) were recruited from the YMCA in New Brunswick (Canada) via word-of-mouth, social media, and consulting local physicians. The inclusion criteria were broad. All community members were welcome to attend the program, but only those over age 18 and those that attended ≥6/12 walks were included in the study. Participants were grouped into non-frail (FI< 0.10; n = 51) and very mild + frail (FI ≥ 0.10; n = 29) groups for comparison. Participants attended a student-led 1-h/week health education and walking program and completed the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging Frailty Index (FI) questionnaire before and after the program. Results: = 0.014). Conclusion and implications: The WWAFD program that included weekly walking and education sessions was associated with reduced frailty levels among adults with FI ≥0.10. This change emphasizes the value of community-based physical activity programs and exemplifies the impact they can have on the participants' health outcomes.

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
