Question 1

RDA is determined by

Answer 1

experimentation in healthy people

Question 2

Answer 2

• biovailability
• sex and age differences
• physiological state

Question 3

Answer 3

2 SD

Question 4

What is the new concept for RDA

Answer 4

prevent chronic disease

Question 5

RDA is developed to maintain good health and avoid deficiency but not to

Answer 5

• overcome nutrient deficiencies
  -recover form illness

Question 6

Answer 6

• overcome nutrient deficiencies
  -recover form illness

Question 7

the DRIs differ conceptually from the former RDAs and RNIs

Answer 7

1. where possible, reduction in the risk of chronic degenerative disease is included in the formulation of the recommendation
2. concepts of probability and risk explicitly underpin the determination of the DRIs and applications
3. upper levels of intake are established
4. food components that may not meet the traditional concept of a nutrient are considered

Question 8

AIs is used for

Answer 8

is used insteaf of RDAs when an EAR cannot be calculated

Question 9

how is AI estimated

Answer 9

• observed or experimentally determined approximation
• estimates of nutrient intake by a group of healthy people that are assumed to be adequate
• used when RDA connot be determed

Question 10

if the individual intake is > AI what happens and what if it is lower?

Answer 10

higher: diet is certainly adequate
lower: no quantitative estimate can be made of the probability of nutrient adequacy bc the point where risk increase cannot be determined

Question 11

dietary guidelines aims what

Answer 11

promote health and prevent diseases at every stage of life

Question 12

what are the 3 fundamentals premises of dietary guidelines

Answer 12

• diet related chronic diseases very prevalent
