DRIs are evidence-informed criteria for an acceptable range of amounts of vitamins and nutrients for each gender and age group.DRIs have four components.The EAR is the recommended amount of a nutrient that appears sufficient to maintain a specific body function for 50% of the population based on age and gender.The RDA indicates the average needs of 98% of the population,not the exact needs of the individual.Adequate intake is the suggested intake for individuals that is based on observed or experimentally determined estimates of nutrient intakes and is used when evidence is insufficient to allow the RDA to be set.The tolerable upper intake level is the highest level that probably poses no risk of adverse health events.It is not a recommended level of intake.The Food Guide Pyramid is not a component of the DRIs.
