Designed for the maintenance of good nutrition of practically all healthy people in the United States. The
allowances, expressed as average daily intakes over time, are intended to provide for individual variations among
most normal persons as they live in the United States under usual environmental stresses. Diets should be based
on a variety of common foods in order to provide other nutrients for which human requirements have been less well
defined.
Because there are uncertainties in the knowledge base, it is not possible to set RDAs for all the known nutrients.
However, the RDAs can serve as a guide such that a varied diet meeting RDAs will probably be adequate in all
other nutrients. Therefore, the subcommittee recommends that diets should be composed of a variety of foods that
are derived from diverse food groups rather than by supplementation or fortification and that losses of nutrients
during the processing and preparation of food should be taken into consideration in planning diets.
RDAs apply to healthy persons. They do not cover special nutritional needs arising from metabolic disorders,
chronic diseases, injuries, premature birth, other medical conditions, and drug therapies. Weights and heights of
Reference Adults are actual medians for the U.S. population of the designated age, as reported by NHANES II. The
use of these figures does not imply that the height-to-weight ratios are ideal.
