Question

1. adequate intake is based on the dietary intakes of people who appear to be maintaining nutritional health.

○ true
○ false

1. the tolerable upper intake level is the highest amount of a nutrient unlikely to cause adverse health effects in the long run.

○ true
○ false

1. all of the following need to be considered when calculating the estimated energy requirement except:

○ gender
○ religion
○ weight
○ height
○ age

Explanation:

Question 5

Adequate Intake (AI) is defined as a recommended average daily nutrient intake level based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or estimates of nutrient intake by a group (or groups) of apparently healthy people who are maintaining an adequate nutritional state. So the statement is True.

The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is the highest average daily nutrient intake level that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population. So the statement "the highest amount of a nutrient unlikely to cause adverse health effects in the long run" matches the definition of UL, so it is True.

Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) calculation considers factors like gender, weight, height, age, and physical activity level. Religion has no direct relation to energy requirements as it is a cultural/faith - based factor, not a physiological or activity - related factor that affects energy needs.

Answer:

True
