Dietary Reference Intakes: Applications in Dietary Assessment

A Report of the Subcommittees on Interpretation and Uses of Dietary Reference Intakes and Upper Reference Levels of Nutrients,The Standing Committee on the Scientific Evaluation of Dietary Reference Intakes,Food and Nutrition Board,Institute of Medicine,National Academy of Sciences

Since 1994, the Institute of Medicine’s Food and Nutrition Board has been involved in developing an expanded approach to developing dietary reference standards. This approach, the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), provides a set of four nutrient-based reference values designed to replace the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) in the United States and the Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) in Canada. These reference values include Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), Adequate Intake (AI), and Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL). To date, several volumes in this series have been published.This new book, Applications in Dietary Assessment , provides guidance to nutrition and health research professionals on the application of the new DRIs. It represents both a how to manual and a why manual. Specific examples of both appropriate and inappropriate uses of the DRIs in assessing nutrient adequacy of groups and of individuals are provided, along with detailed statistical approaches for the methods described. In addition, a clear distinction is made between assessing individuals and assessing groups as the approaches used are quite different.
Applications in Dietary Assessment will be an essential companion to any-or all-of the DRI volumes.
