4 DRI CATEGORIES

A

RECOMMENDED DIETARY ALLOWANCE (RDA)
ADEQUATE INTAKE (AI)
ESTIMATED AVERAGE REQUIREMENTS (EAR)
TOLERABLE UPPER INTAKE LEVELS (UL)

24
Q

A set of values reflecting the average daily amount of nutrients considered adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of practicality all healthy people in a particular life stage and gender
Goal for dietary intakes by individuals

25
A set of goals that are used as guide for nutrient intakes when scientific evidence is insufficient to determine an RDA
AI
26
the average daily nutrient intake levels estimated to meet the requirements of half of the healthy individuals in a given age and gender group
EAR
27
Values reflecting the highest average daily nutrient intake levels that are likely to post no risk of toxicity to almost all healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group.
UL
28
Most appropriately used to develop and evaluate nutrition programs of or group such as a school children or military personnel
EAR
29
Can be used to set goals for individuals
RDA OR Al is Rda is not available
30
Help to keep nutrient intakes below the amount that increase the risk of toxicity
UL
31
Enough energy is needed to sustain a healthy active life but too much energy leads to obesity
ESTIMATED ENERGY REQUIREMENTS EER
32
Set at a level of energy intaketake predicted to maintain energy balance in a healthy adult of a define age gender weight height and physical activity level.
EER
33
Committee established health ranges of intakes for the energy yielding nutrients known as
MACRONUTRIENT DISTRIBUTION RANGES
34
As noted earlier, the dri committee considers prevention of chronic disease as well as nutrient adequacy when establishing recommendations.
ACCEPTABLE MACRONUTRIENT DISTRIBUTION RANGES (AMDR)
35
