In 1997, the Institute of Medicine and Food and Nutrition Board began to establish the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for a number of nutrients. DRIs replace and expand on the past 50 years of periodic updates and revisions of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs). The DRIs represent a new approach to providing quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes for use in a variety of settings. They differ in amounts and age categories from the 1989 RDAs and, along with the RDA category, include three new categories of reference values. The Interactive Healthy Eating Index uses the RDA category for nutrient intake analysis. Currently, there are DRIs for the minerals related to bone health; folate and other B vitamins; antioxidants and related compounds; and iron and zinc.
This version of the Interactive Healthy Eating Index has been updated to reflect the DRIs for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, iron, zinc and selenium. For all nutrients except calcium, the RDA is used for a particular gender/age category; for calcium the Adequate Intake (AI) is used. The 1989 Recommended Energy Allowance (REA) for food energy is used in this version and will be updated when the DRI for food energy becomes available.
