Question

After gathering sufficient evidence to generate an _____for a nutrient, that value is used to establish an RDA for the same nutrient.

Answer 1

Answer:

Estimated Average Requirement (EAR).

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is important to consider that Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are reference values to quantitatively estimate the nutrient necessities to be taken for planning and assessing diets for healthy people. On the other hand, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is the average daily dietary intake level that is enough to know the nutrient necessity of nearly all (about 98%) healthy individuals in a particular population. The answer is Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) which is a nutrient intake value that is considered to meet the necessity of half (50%) the healthy individuals in a particular population.

Best regards.
