The Dietary Reference Intake is a system of nutrition recommendations from the National Academy of Medicine of the National Academies. It was introduced in 1997 in order to broaden the existing guidelines known as Recommended Dietary Allowances.
What recommended dietary allowance mean?
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%-98%) healthy people. Adequate Intake (AI): established when evidence is insufficient to develop an RDA and is set at a level assumed to ensure nutritional adequacy.
How is recommended dietary allowance calculated?
The RDA is set at the EAR plus twice the standard deviation (SD) if known (RDA = EAR + 2 SD); if data about variability in requirements are insufficient to calculate an SD, a coefficient of variation for the EAR of 10 percent is ordinarily assumed (RDA = 1.2 x EAR).
