For a Group b
Assessment
EAR: use to examine the
EAR : use to estimate the probability that usual prevalence of inadequate intakes intake is inadequate. within a group.
RDA: usual intake at or above this level has a low probability of inadequacy.
RDA: do not use to assess intakes of groups.
AI c : usual intake at or above this level has a low probability of inadequacy.
AI c : mean usual intake at or above this level implies a low prevalence of inadequate intakes.
UL: usual intake above this level may place an individual at risk of adverse effects from excessive nutrient intake.
UL: use to estimate the percentage of the population at potential risk of adverse effects from excess nutrient intake.
Planning
RDA: aim for this intake.
EAR: use to plan an intake distribution with a low prevalence of inadequate intakes.
AI c : aim for this intake.
AI c : use to plan mean intakes.
UL: use as a guide to limit intake; chronic intake of higher amounts may increase the potential risk of adverse effects.
UL: use to plan intake distributions with a low prevalence of intakes potentially at risk of adverse effects.
RDA = Recommended Dietary Allowance
EAR = Estimated Average Requirement
AI = Adequate Intake
UL = Tolerable Upper Level
a Evaluation of true status requires clinical, biochemical, and anthropometric data.
