  3. Shifting from a single to multiple reference standards of some nutrients;
  4. Expanding the nutrients covered
74
Q

PDRI developments compared to RENI

A
  1. The use of multiple level reference values for energy and nutrients;
  2. The dietary reference intakes would meet the needs of apparently healthy individuals;
  3. The reference weights for infants and children reflected the WHO growth standards & those adults based on the weight to achieve a BMI of 22 kg/m2 using data from the 2013 NNS median height at 19 y of age;
  4. The age groupings were revised to reflect the current knowledge of biological patterns and feeding guidelines (e.g. exclusive breastfeeding for the 1st 6 months of life).

A

T

84
Q

T or F: The endpoints of the DRIs are to ensure nutrient adequacy, but not to avoid excesses

A

T

86
Q

T or F: The comparison of intakes with PDRI describes a measure of the severity of deficiency
