Can Zero-Shot LLMs Predict Child Malnutrition? A Fairness and Temporal Robustness Study

arXiv:2607.29082v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Child malnutrition remains a major public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in South Asia, where early identification of vulnerable children is critical for timely intervention and resource allocation. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, fairness, and temporal robustness of using a pretrained large language model (LLM) in a zero-shot setting for child stunting prediction using population health survey data....
