which of the following are appropriate uses of dietary reference intakes? more than one answer may be
□ assessing the nutrient intakes of a population
□ planning a diet for weight loss
□ estimating body composition
□ planning a diet to meet nutrient needs

Explanation:

Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are a set of nutrient reference values used to evaluate and plan nutrient intakes. They are designed to assess population-level nutrient intake adequacy and create diets that meet specific nutrient requirements. Weight loss planning focuses on calorie deficit, not DRI-specific nutrient targets, and body composition estimation uses tools like BIA or DEXA, not DRIs.

Answer:

• assessing the nutrient intakes of a population
• planning a diet to meet nutrient needs
