Study Notes
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)
- RDA provides average daily nutrient intake for most healthy people (97-98%)
- Derived from Estimated Average Requirements (EARS)
Adequate Intake (AI)
- Nutrient intake goals used when RDA data is insufficient
- AI is expected to meet or exceed the needs of most individuals
Tolerable Upper Intake Level
- Highest level of daily nutrient intake likely safe for most individuals
- Sometimes marked as ND (not determined) meaning the upper limit is unknown
Chronic Disease Risk Reduction Intakes (CDRR)
- Newer category to determine intake to reduce chronic disease risk
- Introduced sodium (Na, Sodium) as high intake linked to life-threatening conditions
- High sodium intake (2100 mg) associated with reduced chronic disease risk
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)
- Macronutrients distribution ranges for protein, fat, and carbohydrate
- Protein: 10-35% of calorie intake
- Fat: 20-35% of calorie intake
- Carbohydrate: 45-65% of calorie intake
Nutrition Assessment
- Various methods used together for comprehensive assessment
- Anthropometric: Height, weight, body fat, head circumference, growth charts
- Biochemical: Blood tests, urine tests, biological markers
- Clinical: Health history, family history, visual assessments (paleness, bruising)
- Dietary: Assessment of dietary intake (food records)
Anthropometric Measurements
- Height, weight, BMI (often used but has issues)
- Percent body fat (more accurate than weight; measures like skinfold calipers, DEXA)
- Waist circumference, head circumference
- Growth charts (World Health Organization standards)
Biochemical Analyses
- Blood or urine samples to determine nutrient/enzyme levels, DNA characteristics (inborn errors like PKU)
- Nutrigenomics profile is increasing in use
- Differentiates between primary (not enough intake) and secondary (intake good, but not absorbed) deficiencies
Clinical Examination
- Includes medical records, healthy history, social factors
- Visual evaluation of hair, eyes, skin, nails, posture, tongue, fingernails (overt signs of deficiencies)
- Inadequacies or excesses of body fat, paleness, bruising
- Brittle hair or nails
Dietary Assessment
- Various methods like food records (1, 3, or 7 days), 24-hour diet recall, food frequency questionnaires (FFQ)
- Data analysis tools (ESHA or others) for evaluating adequacy (compare with EARs, RDAs, CFG)
Nutrition Assessment (Community Level)
- Assessing nutritional health status of a community
- Indicators include broad nutrition and health status indicators, household income, and government assistance use
