Q

what is the recommended dietary intake (RDI) (also the same as the RDA)

A

the average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97-98%) healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group

Q

what is the adequate intake (AI)

A

the average daily nutrient intake level based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or estimates of nutrient intake by a group of apparently healthy people that are assumed to be adequate

Q

what is the upper level of intake (UL)

A

the highest average daily nutrient intake level likely to pose no adverse effects to almost all individuals in the general population, as intake increases above the UL, the potential risk of adverse effects increases

Q

what are other NRV terms we need to know

A
  • acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR)
  • suggested dietary target (SDT)
  • estimated energy requirement (EER) - this is an average

16
Q

physiological requirements are influenced by

A
  • physiological factors : include pregnancy etc
  • lifestyle factors : example smokers need more vitamin C
  • biological and genetic factors
  • environmental factors : like competing in high levels of heat, sodium will need to be higher
17
Q

steps to establishing the EAR

A
  1. determine the distribution of physiological requirements for nutrient
  2. determine average physiological requirement
  3. determine variation in physiological reqs
  4. adjust for inefficient use of consumed nutrient (bioavailability in habitual diet, bioconversion of nutrient)
18
Q

Bioavailability

A

-Measured % absorption non-haem iron from customary diet for population
-estimated proportion of iron intake that is haem iron
-measured % absorption haem iron

19
Q

setting an RDI when the SD of the EAR is known

A

RDI = EAR + 2SDREQ

in most cases we don’t have enough data to have known standard deviation

20
Q

setting an RDI is the SD of the EAR is not known

A

use CV for EAR

CV for most is assumed = 10%

RDI = EAR x (1+ 0.1 + 0.1)

21
Q

what is a UL

A

highest level of intake of a nutrient that poses no risk of adverse effects

22
Q

when determining a UL it is intake from

A

all sources : food, water, nutritional supplements

23
Q

when determining a UL it is ideally based on

A

NOAEL = “no observed adverse effect level”

highest continuing intake of a nutrient at which no adverse effects have been observed

24
Q

if there is no NOAEL when determining a UL, then it is based on

A

LOAEL = “lowest observed adverse effect level”

and

Uncertainty factor (UF)

25
Q

if there is no NOAEL when determining a UL, in what cases will there be a larger UF

A

there will be a larger uncertainty factor if applied to animal data or when over consumption has serious health effects

26
Q

what are the uncertainties of NRV’s

A
  • limited data on distribution of physiological requirements
  • data are mainly for young adult males
  • limited absorption data for different diet types
  • limited data on usual food intakes
  • limited data on interactions between nutrients
  • limited data on influence of host related factors
27
Q

what are the underlying assumptions of NRV’s

A
  • population is healthy
  • nutrient intake is usual intake
  • requirements for energy and other nutrients are being met
  • nutrient requirements and intake are not correlated
28
Q

what is meant by nutrient requirements and intake are not correlated

A

for energy is you are not getting enough you will be more hungry and so eat more, this is not the same for nutrients

if you do not have enough of that nutrient you will not know to have more of it
