</p>
<ul><li><b>Estimated Average Requirements</b> (<b>EAR</b>), are expected to satisfy the needs of 50% of the people in that age group based on a review of the scientific literature.</li>
<li><b>Recommended Dietary Allowances</b> (<b>RDA</b>), the daily dietary intake level of a nutrient considered sufficient by the <a href="Reference_Daily_Intake#History" title="Reference Daily Intake">Food and Nutrition Board</a> of the Institute of Medicine to meet the requirements of 97.5% of healthy individuals in each life stage and sex group. The definition implies that the intake level would cause a harmful nutrient deficiency in just 2.5%. It is calculated based on the EAR and is usually approximately 20% higher than the EAR (See <a href="#Calculating_the_RDA">Calculating the RDA</a>).</li>
<li><b>Adequate Intake</b> (<b>AI</b>), where no RDA has been established, but the amount established is somewhat less firmly believed to be adequate for everyone in the demographic group.</li>
<li><b>Tolerable upper intake levels</b> (<b>UL</b>), to caution against excessive intake of nutrients (like <a href="Vitamin_A" title="Vitamin A">vitamin A</a> and <a href="Selenium" title="Selenium">selenium</a>) that can be harmful in large amounts. This is the highest level of <em>sustained</em> daily nutrient consumption that is considered to be safe for, and cause no side effects in, 97.5% of healthy individuals in each life stage and sex group. The definition implies that the intake level would cause a harmful nutrient excess in just 2.5%. The <a href="European_Food_Safety_Authority" title="European Food Safety Authority">European Food Safety Authority</a> (EFSA) has also established ULs which do not always agree with U.S. ULs. For example, adult zinc UL is 40&nbsp;mg in the U.S. and 25&nbsp;mg in EFSA.<sup id="cite_ref-EFSA_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EFSA-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li><b>Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges</b> (<b>AMDR</b>), are a range of intake specified as a percentage of total energy intake. Used for sources of energy, such as fats and carbohydrates.</li></ul>
<p>DRIs are used by both the United States and Canada, and are intended for the general public and health professionals. Applications include:
</p>
<ul><li>Composition of diets for schools, prisons, hospitals or nursing homes</li>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) was developed during World War II by <a href="Lydia_J._Roberts" class="mw-redirect" title="Lydia J. Roberts">Lydia J. Roberts</a>, <a href="Hazel_Stiebeling" title="Hazel Stiebeling">Hazel Stiebeling</a>, and <a href="Helen_S._Mitchell" title="Helen S. Mitchell">Helen S. Mitchell</a>, all part of a committee established by the <a href="United_States_National_Academy_of_Sciences" class="mw-redirect" title="United States National Academy of Sciences">United States National Academy of Sciences</a> in order to investigate issues of nutrition that might "affect national defense".<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The committee was renamed the Food and Nutrition Board in 1941, after which they began to deliberate on a set of recommendations of a standard daily allowance for each type of nutrient. The standards would be used for nutrition recommendations for the armed forces, for civilians, and for overseas population who might need food relief. Roberts, Stiebeling, and Mitchell surveyed all available data, created a tentative set of allowances for "energy and eight nutrients", and submitted them to experts for review (Nestle, 35).
</p><p>The final set of guidelines, called RDAs for Recommended Dietary Allowances, were accepted in 1941. The allowances were meant to provide superior nutrition for civilians and military personnel, so they included a "margin of safety". Because of food <a href="Rationing" title="Rationing">rationing</a> during the war, the food guides created by government agencies to direct citizens' nutritional intake also took food availability into account.
</p><p>The Food and Nutrition Board subsequently revised the RDAs every five to ten years. In the early 1950s, <a href="United_States_Department_of_Agriculture" title="United States Department of Agriculture">United States Department of Agriculture</a> nutritionists made a new set of guidelines that also included the number of servings of each food group in order to make it easier for people to receive their RDAs of each nutrient.
</p><p>The DRI was introduced in 1997 in order to broaden the existing system of RDAs. DRIs were published over the period 1998 to 2001. In 2011, revised DRIs were published for calcium and vitamin D.<sup id="cite_ref-vitD-Calcium2_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-vitD-Calcium2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Additionally, revised DRIs were published for potassium and sodium in 2019. <sup id="cite_ref-sodium-potassium-update_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sodium-potassium-update-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The DRI for energy was updated in 2023. <sup id="cite_ref-energy-update_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-energy-update-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> None of the other DRIs have been revised since first published 1998 to 2001.
