2. current focus of reduce risk of chronic disease by improving overall dietary patterns
nutrition
3. studies link di- health promotion and prevention of disease
etary patterns,
including nutri-
ent density and
diet quality to:
4. dietary reference series of in-depth reports covering vitamins, minerals, the energy nutrients, cho-
intakes lesterol, fiber, electrolytes, and water
-incorporate an expanded focus of reducing the risk of chronic diseases associ-
ated w dietary excesses
-primarily for professional use because they deal with quantities of nutrients as
opposed to amounts of food
5. the 7 dietary ref- 1. RDA
erence intakes 2. EAR
3. AI
4. UL
5. CDRR
6. AMDRS
7. EER
6. represent the average daily recommended intake to meet the nutrient require-
ments of 97-98% (!) of healthy individuals by life stage and gender based on
, nutrition exam 1
Study online at https://quizlet.com/_eh4gjn
recommended SPECIFIC criteria indicators
dietary -set high enough to account for daily variations in intake
allowances (RDA)
7. estimated aver- amount of a nutrient that is estimated to meet the requirement of HALF of healthy
age requirement people in a particular life stage or gender group
(EAR) -not based solely on the prevention of nutrient deficiencies
-consideration for reducing the risk of chronic disease
-takes into account the bioavailability of the nutrient
-EAR values are used to determine RDA values
8. adequate intake set when an RDA CANNOT be determined due to lack of sufficient data on
(AI) requirements
-a recommended avg daily intake level THOUGHT to meet or exceed the need of
all members of a life stage/gender group based on ESTIMATES of nutrient intake
by healthy people
-purpose: a nutrient intake goal for individuals
9. tolerable upper the maximum daily amount of a nutrient that appears safe for most healthy people
intake level (UL) and beyond which there is an increased risk of adverse health effects
-not intended to be a recommended level of intake!
10. chronic disease based on evidence of the beneficial effect of lowering sodium intake on CV disease
risk and re- risk and HTN risk
duction intake -recommendation written as "reduce intake if above _____ mg/day"
(CDRR) -considered for potassium also, but not est. due to lack of evidence
11. acceptable recommended percentage of total calories consumed for each energy nutrient
macronutrient -associated w reduced risk of chronic disease while proving adequate intakes of
distribution essential nutrients! if your nutrient intake remains in the broad ranges, you are
ranges (AMDR) reducing your risk!
12. 45-65% of total calories

AMDR for carbo-
hydrates
13. AMDR for protein 10-35% of total calories
14. AMDR for fat 20-35% of total calories
15. estimated ener- the average dietary energy intake predicted to maintain energy balance in a
gy requirement healthy adult of a certain age, gender, weight, height, and level of physical activity
(EER) consistent with good health
-similar to EAR, but with a calculation... calculates how many kcal/day that person
needs to maintain energy balance (er um)
16. how are DRI's used by scientists, nutritionists, and dietitians (professionals) to assess the ad-
used? equacy of an individual's intake by comparing estimated intake with estimated
requirements
-not suited to teaching people how to make healthy choices (uh what)
17. dietary guide- evidence-based recommendations on diet and physical activity to promote health
lines for ameri- and decrease the risk of chronic diet-related diseases
cans -updated every 5 years
-federal policy on nutrition
18. guideline #1 Follow a healthy dietary pattern at every life stage
-first 6 months of life: exclusively feed infants human milk and continue through
at least first year of life. feed infants iron-fortified formula when human milk
unavailable. supplemental vitamin D soon after birth
-at about 6 months: introduce infants to nutrient-dense complementary foods,
potentially allergenic foods, a variety of foods! foods rich in iron and zinc good for
human milk infants
-from 12 months through older adulthood: follow these guidelines to meet
nutrient needs, help achieve healthy body weight, and reduce the risk of chronic
disease!!!!
