TESTED MATERIALS
◉ requirement. Answer: the lowest continuing intake of nutrient
that will maintain a specified criterion of adequacy
◉ Estimated Average Requirement (EAR). Answer: teh average dialy
amount of a nutrient that will maintain a specific biochemical or
physiological function in half the healthy people of a given age and
gender group
◉ Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Answer: the average
daily amount of nutrient considered adequate to meet the known
nutrient needs of practically all healthy people; a goal for dietary
intake by individuals
◉ deficient. Answer: inadequate, a nutrient amount that fails to
meet the body's needs and eventually results in deficiency
symptoms
◉ Adequate intake (AI). Answer: The average daily amount of a
nutrient that appears sufficient to maintain a specified criterion; a
value used as a guide for nutrient intake when an RDA cannot be
determined
,◉ Tolerable Upper Intake level (UL). Answer: the maximum daily
amount of a nutrient that appears safe for most healthy people and
beyond which there is an increased risk of adverse health affects.
◉ Estimated Energy Requirement (EER). Answer: the average
dietary energy intake that maintains energy balance and good health
in a person of a given age, gender, weight, and level of physical
activity
◉ Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR). Answer:
ranges for intakes for the energy nutrients that provide adequate
energy and nutrients and reduce the risk of chronic disease
◉ malnutrition. Answer: any condition caused by excess or deficient
food energy or nutrient intake or by an imbalance of nutrients
◉ undernutrition. Answer: deficient energy or nutrients
◉ overnutrition. Answer: excess of energy or nutrients
◉ nutrion assessment. Answer: a comprehensive analysis of a
person's nutrition status that uses health, socioeconomic, drug, and
diet histories; anthropometric measurements; physical
examinations; and laboratory test
, ◉ antrhopometrics. Answer: relating to the measurement of
physical characteristics of the body, such as height and weight
◉ overt. Answer: out in the open and easy to observe
◉ primary deficiency. Answer: a nutrient deficiency caused by
inadequate dietary intake of nutrient
◉ secondary deficiency. Answer: a nutrient deficiency caused by
something other than an inadequate intake such as disease
condition or drug interaction that reduces absorption, accelerates
use, hastens exertion, or destroys the nutrient
◉ subclinical deficiency. Answer: a deficiency in the early stages,
before the outward signs have appeared
◉ covert. Answer: hidden, as if under covers
◉ Healthy people. Answer: a national public health initiative under
the jurisdiction of the US department of Health and Human services
(DHHS) that identifies the most significant preventable threats to
health and focusses efforts toward eliminating them.
