Question 6

Four components of Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI)

Answer 6

(1) Estimated Average Requirement,
(2) Recommended Dietary Allowance,
(3) Adequate Intake,

(4) Tolerable Upper
Intake Level

Question 7

This component of DRI is useful in ESTIMATING the actual requirements in groups & individuals; serves as the foundation for setting the RDA

Answer 7

Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)

Question 8

This component of DRI refers to the AVERAGE DAILY NUTRIENT intake level that is SUFFICIENT to meet the requirements of nearly all (97- 98%) individuals in a particular life stage and sex group

Answer 8

Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)

Question 9

This component of DRI is set instead of an RDA if sufficient scientific evidence is not available to calculate an EAR or RDA

Answer 9

Adequate Intake (AI)
