Adequate Intake (AI) & Tolerable Upper Intake (UL)

Question 1

ADEQUATE INTAKE (AI)

Answer 1

a value based on observed or experimentally determined approximations of nutrient intake by a group (or groups) of healthy people—used when an RDA cannot be determined

Question 2

RDA value.

Answer 2

Less certainty about the AI value than about the

Question 3

Both the AI and the RDA

Answer 3

used as a goal for individual intake or a specific age group intake.

Question 4

Adequate Intake

Answer 4

a vital guide in the absence of enough scientific evidence to establish an Estimated Average Requirement and set an RDA.

Question 5

Adequate Intake

Answer 5

In the absence of RDA, this can be used as a target for a person’s intake and to meet the body’s requirement for a particular nutrient

Question 6

Adequate Intake

Answer 6

When RDA is not available, ________is expected to meet the requirements of individuals of the same gender and life stage group.

Question 7

• Cut Down on Saturated Fats & Trans Fats
• Reduce the Intake of Alcohol & Quit Smoking

Question 9

Consequences of Disregarding AI

Answer 9

Inadequate Intake Inadequate dietary energy intake was defined as patients consumed less than the recommended levels.

Question 10

Consequences of Disregarding AI

Answer 10

Poor Nutrition

Stress, tiredness and our capacity to work

Question 11

Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL)

Answer 11

The amount of nutrition that practically everyone in the general population can consume without running the danger of negative health repercussions. Adverse effects are more likely if intake rises above the UL.

Applies to daily use

Question 12

Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL)

Answer 12

Not a recommended level

No established benefits of higher level

Increased risks at higher intakes

Question 13

tolerable upper intake level.

Answer 13

The maximum daily nutrient intake that practically all people are expected to experience minimal danger of negative health effects

Question 14

main objective of the UL

Answer 14

is to inform the general population about the risks of excess nutrient intake.

Question 15

PURPOSE OF TOLERABLE UPPER INTAKE LEVEL OR UPPER LIMIT (UL)

Answer 15

useful because of a rise in the interest regarding the availability of fortified foods and an increase in the use of dietary supplements to meet the nutrient requirement.

Question 16

TOLERABLE UPPER INTAKE LEVEL OR UPPER LIMIT (UL)

Answer 16

based on the total intake of water, nutrients from the food, fortified foods, and supplements.

Question 17

TOLERABLE UPPER INTAKE LEVEL OR UPPER LIMIT (UL)

Answer 17

helps in understanding if any adverse effects are associated with the total intake.

Question 18

TOLERABLE UPPER INTAKE LEVEL OR UPPER LIMIT (UL)

Answer 18

may help in preventing the toxicity of certain nutrients and their undesirable effects on overall human health

Question 20

STEP 1: Hazard Identification

Answer 20

Question 21

STEP 2: Dose-Response Assessment

Answer 21

Establishes the connection between nutrient consumption (dose) and negative effects (in terms of incidence and severity).

Question 22

STEP 3: Intake Assessment

Answer 22

Evaluates how the average total daily nutrient consumption for people in the broader population is distributed.

STEP 4: Risk Characterization

Answer 23

Summarizes the results of steps 1 and 2 with step 3 to calculate risk
