Abstract
The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) include four sets of nutrient reference values created by the Institute of Medicine to be used for assessing and planning diets of individuals and groups. These values reflect the optimal amount of select nutrients needed to promote health and prevent disease, while also avoiding their overconsumption. The DRI replaces the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA), in use in the United States since 1941, and the Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNI) in Canada. The DRI was first published in a series of reports between 1997 and 2005, and in 2006 a definitive summary and practitioner’s guide was issued (Dietary Reference Intakes: the essential guide to nutrient requirements, Washington, DC, 2006). The Netherlands, Japan, and South Korea adapted the concept of the DRI for use in their countries (Asia Pac J Clin Nutr. 7(S2):416–9, 2008; Asia Pac J Clin Nutr. 17(S2):420–44, 2008; Eur J Clin Nutr. 58:191–4, 2004).
