Question

question 32: average daily intake that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97 - 98%) healthy individuals in a group is known as:

• estimated average requirement
• adequate intake
• recommended dietary allowance
• tolerable upper intake levels

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Estimated Average Requirement (EAR): Meets needs of 50% of a group, not 97 - 98%.
• Adequate Intake (AI): Used when EAR can't be determined, not for 97 - 98% of a group.
• Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): Defined as the average daily intake sufficient to meet nutrient requirements of nearly all (97 - 98%) healthy individuals in a group.
• Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL): Maximum intake without adverse effects, not related to meeting requirements for most.

Answer:

C. Recommended Dietary Allowance
