PDRI meaning
Philippine Dietary Reference Intake
is a nutrient-based recommendation that serves as the starting point of food-based dietary guidelines
PDRI
PDRI
1) estimated average requirement (ear)
2) recommended energy/nutrient intake (rei/rni)
3) adequate intake (AI)
4) tolerable upper intake level or upper limit (ul)
acceptable macronutrient distribution range (amdr)
pdri reference values
PDRI
daily nutrient intake level that meets the median or average requirement of healthy individuals in particular life stage and sex group, corrected for incomplete utilization or dietary requirement
estimated average requirement (ear)
PDRI
level of intake of energy or nutrient which is considered adequate for the maintenance of health and well-being of healthy persons in the population
recommended energy/nutrient intake (rei/rni)
daily nutrient intake level that is based on observed or experimentally-determined approximation of the average nutrient intake by a group (groups) of apparently healthy people that are assumed to sustain a defined nutritional state
adequate intake (ai)
PDRI
highest average daily nutrient intake level likely to pose no adverse health effects to almost all individuals in general population
tolerable upper intake level or upper limit (UL)
PDRI
the range of intakes for a particular energy source that is associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases while providing adequate intakes of essential nutrients
acceptable macronutrient distribution range
used for the assessment and planning of diets, both at the individual and population level
pdri
PDRI
at individual level these are used for assessing diets
ear, ai, ul
PDRI
at individual level these are used for planning diets
