Study Notes
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)
- DRIs are nutrient reference values used for planning and assessing diets in Canada and the US
- DRIs provide a guide for good nutrition.
- Important for maintaining up-to-date standards.
- They are important for promoting health through various initiatives such as dietary guidelines, military assistance, nutrition programs, nutrition labeling, and health professional support
- DRIs currently can result in healthier Canadians and Americans
- DRIs are relevant to Global Population Health and Global Nutrient Standards
Goals of the DRI Committees
- Goal #1: Setting Recommended Intake Values
- RDA: Based on strong experimental evidence and reliable observations
- AI: Scientifically based, may require estimations.
- Goal #2: Facilitating Nutrition Research and Policy
- EARs (Estimated Average Requirements): Nutrient requirements for specific life stages and gender groups.
- Goal #3: Establishing Safety Guidelines
- UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Levels): Levels potentially hazardous, upper limits on intake.
- Goal #4: Preventing Chronic Diseases
- AMDR (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges): Proportion of nutrients from carbohydrates, fat and protein. These proportions help prevent chronic diseases.
- 45%-65% Carbohydrates, 20%-35% Fat, 10%-35% Protein
- these values are expressed as percentage of daily caloric intake
- AMDR (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges): Proportion of nutrients from carbohydrates, fat and protein. These proportions help prevent chronic diseases.
Nutrient Standards
- DRIs provide 5 lists of nutrient intake values for healthy people
- RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances): Daily nutrient intake that meets the needs of nearly all (97-98%) healthy people in a particular life stage and gender group; calculated from EARs.
- AI (Adequate Intakes): Used when scientific data is insufficient; a recommended daily nutrient intake level based on observations from healthy people.
- EAR (Estimated Average Requirement): Average daily intake estimated to meet the requirements of half the healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group.
Intake Recommendations
- Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL): Highest recommended daily intake a particular life stage and gender group can have without risk of toxicity.
- Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR): A new DRI category for chronic disease prevention.
- Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR): Percentage ranges of carbohydrate, fat and protein are appropriate for daily caloric intakes to reduce chronic disease risk.
Daily Values (DV)
- Nutrient references used on food labels, menus and websites
- Allow comparisons across foods regarding nutrient content.
Nutrient Intake and Health
- Excessive nutrient intake and insufficient intake can both negatively impact health.
- DRIs provide a safe range for consumption to help prevent chronic illnesses.
Additional Information
- Intake varies by nutrient and by individual, determined by factors like age and health status
- DRIs are important tools allowing for planning and assessments of appropriate dietary intake.
- Individuals should consult appropriate tables to identify their specific nutrient requirements.
