DIETARY REFERENCE INTAKE Flashcards
set of nutrient-based reference values that provide quantitative recommendations by gender, age, life stage, or physiological condition for nutrient intakes of individuals.
DIETARY REFERENCE INTAKE
to provide nutrient standards that are used to shape various public policies
Dietary Reference Intakes
the basis for developing dietary advice for patients requiring medical nutrition therapy and to establish the daily values displayed on the nutrition fact panels of packaged food and supplements.
Dietary Reference Intakes
RDAs were initially put out by____in 1941
Food and Nutrition Board
RDAs were initially put out to serve as a
target for adequate nutrition and as a ‘yardstick’ to monitor progress toward that objective
the two broad categories that were implicitly established in 1941
Diet planning and diet evaluation
still make up a large portion of the specialized uses and applications of dietary reference standards.
Diet planning and diet evaluation
are used in diet planning software to create recommendations for recommended intakes
Dietary reference standards
entail assessing whether observed intakes are likely adequate or inadequate
Applications for diet evaluation
a daily nutrient intake level that meets the median necessity of healthy individuals in precise life stage and sex group, corrected for incomplete consumption or dietary nutrient bioavailability.
Estimated Average Requirements
helps in determining whether or not each person meets his or her nutrient needs.
Estimated Average Requirements
are brought on by insufficient food consumption, which is dangerous to one’s health.
Nutritional deficiencies
Applied to determine what the body is in need of at any given time.
Estimated Average Requirements
clearly shown on nutrition labels to help consumers choose diets that are nutritionally balanced.
Estimated Average Requirements
the levels of intake of essential nutrients that, on the basis of scientific knowledge, are judged by the Food and Nutrition Board to be adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of practically all healthy persons.

FACTORS AFFECTING RDA
can be a helpful tool when it comes to managing a healthy diet.
Food Labels
Commonly found in food packages which contain a variety of information about the nutritional value of the food item.
Food Labels
seeks to reduce or limit dietary components that are frequently consumed in excess while still aiming to meet nutrients from food sources.
MyPyramid
Can be grouped using food exchange lists together to help people on special diets stay on track. Foods are listed in each category according to serving size.
Food Exchange List

two sets of reference values used to report nutrients on nutrition labels
Daily Reference Values and Reference Daily Intakes
both referred to as “Daily Value
DRVs and RDIs
allows consumers to compare the nutritional value of food products and helps them understand how the quantity of a nutrient present in a portion of a food fits into their entire daily diet.
