Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the Growing Babies Project 1 (GBP1), high rates of failure to thrive (FTT) (34%), stunting (21%), and wasting (21%) were documented in Old Order Amish infants and toddlers based on the Center for Disease Control (CDC) growth references. A follow-up study (GBP2) provided mothers with personal nutrition counselling and dietary intervention for their children every 3 months from 6 to 18 months of age. Compared to GBP1, FTT increased to 48%, stunting and wasting decreased to 16% and 19%, respectively. However, comparison of growth measurements to 2006 World Health Organization growth standards indicated that FTT decreased to just 6%. This suggests that the CDC growth charts were not appropriate for assessing growth status in these children. High prevalence of inadequate dietary intakes were noted for vitamins D and E, folate and zinc. Overall, the mothers found the GBP2 project useful in understanding their children's growth and development.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
