DRI lists and purposes Flashcards
what is the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA)?
nutrient intake goals for individuals; the average daily nutrient intake level that meets the needs of nearly all (97 to 98 percent) healthy people in a particular life stage and gender group.
what is the Adequate Intakes (AI)?
nutrient intake goals for individuals; the recommended average daily nutrient intake level based on intakes of healthy people in a particular life stage and gender group and assumed to be adequate. Set when scientific data are insufficient to allow establishment of an RDA value.
what is Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL)?
the highest average daily nutrient intake level that is likely to pose no risk of toxicity to almost all healthy individuals of a particular life stage and gender group.
what is Estimated Average Requirements (EAR)?
the average daily nutrient intake estimated to meet the requirement of half of the healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group; is used in nutrition research and policy making and is the basis upon which RDA values are set.
what is Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)?
values for carbohydrate, fat, and protein expressed as percentages of total daily caloric intake; ranges of intakes set for the energy-yielding nutrients that are sufficient to provide adequate total energy and nutrients while minimizing the risk of chronic diseases.
