ABSTRACT
A recent revision of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) by the Food and Nutrition Board (National Academy of Sciences) that provides guidance in assessing the dietary intakes of selected population groups. Many of the DRI values for minerals are different from the RDAs in that ranges are provided rather than set figures. The population is also divided differently with respect to the age or sex groupings. Current DRIs can be found online at https://www.nap.edu.
