NTRI 2000 AU EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
SOLUTIONS
Nutrition -- Answer ✔✔ science that links nutrients in foods and in the body to health
and disease
Food -- Answer ✔✔ any substance that the body can take in and assimilate that will
enable it to stay alive and grow
DRI -- Answer ✔✔ Set of reference values used to plan and assess nutrient intakes of
healthy people (vary by age and gender)
What is included in DRI? -- Answer ✔✔ Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDI)
Adequate Intakes (AI)
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)
RDA -- Answer ✔✔ Average daily nutrient intake sufficient to meet the nutrient
requirements of nearly all healthily people
AI- Adequate Intake -- Answer ✔✔ Recommended average daily nutrient intake level
that appears to be adequate for people of a particular life stage or gender group to
maintain health
UL -- Answer ✔✔ Highest average daily nutrient intake level that is unlikely to cause
negative health effects long term
EAR -- Answer ✔✔ Average daily nutrient intake estimated to meet the needs of half of
healthy individuals
, AMDR -- Answer ✔✔ Ranges of intakes of energy yielding macronutrients that are
sufficient to provide adequate total energy and nutrients while minimizing risk of chronic
disease
AMDR Ranges -- Answer ✔✔ Carbohydrates- 40-65% of total calories
Fat- 20-35%
Protein- 10-35%.
Estimated Energy Requirements -- Answer ✔✔ The average dietary energy intake
predicted to maintain energy balance in a healthy person
Factors- Age, height, gender, weight, and activity level
Malnutrition -- Answer ✔✔ Failing health from long-standing practices that do not
coincide with nutrient needs
Undernutrition -- Answer ✔✔ Nutrient intake is below body need
Overnutrition -- Answer ✔✔ Nutrient intake is in excess of body need
Desirable nutrition -- Answer ✔✔ Nutrient intake meets body need, supports normal
metabolic functions
5 ways to measure nutritional state -- Answer ✔✔ Anthropometric
Biochemical
Clinical
Dietary
Environmental
Anthropometric -- Answer ✔✔ Height, weight, weight-changes, skin fold thickness,
body circumference
Biochemical -- Answer ✔✔ Concentrations of nutrients in blood, urine, feces, and the
activities of specific blood enzymes
