nutrient needs of one half of the individuals in a particular life stage and gender group. Useful
for evaluating adequacy of nutrient intake in a group and how much one should have.



Recommended Dietary Allowance Correct Ans-RDA is the average dietary intake level that
is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all healthy individuals in a particular
life stage and gender group. It is computed using the EAR.



Adequate Intake Correct Ans-AI is a set to fill the gap when there is not enough scientific
evidence to determine the RDA. Based on estimates of observed or experimentally
determined mean nutrient intake eaten by a group of healthy people and assumes that the
amount consumed is adequate to promote health.

safely eaten continuously and still be considered safe for almost all healthy individuals in a
specified group.
