... This report includes a review of the roles that micronutrients are known to play in traditional deficiency diseases and evaluates possible roles in chronic diseases. The overall project is a comprehensive effort undertaken by the Stancling Committee on the Scientific Evaluation of Dietary Reference Intakes (the DRI Committee)

... WHAT ARE DIETARY REFERENCE INTAKES? Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIsJ are reference values that are quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing cliets for apparently healthy people.
From page 3...
... SUMMARY 3 If the stanciarci deviation (SD) of the EAR is available and the requirement for the nutrient is symmetrically clistributeci, the RDA is set at two SDs above the EAR: RDA = EAR + 2 SDEAR.
From page 4...
... The main intencleci use of the AI is as a goal for the nutrient intake of incliviciuals. For example, the AI for young infants, for whom human milk is the recommencleci sole source of food for most nutrients up through the first 4 to 6 months of age, is baseci on the ciaily mean nutrient intake supplied by human milk for apparently healthy, fullterm infants receiving human milk.

... Therefore, an AI was set baseci on estimated intakes of chromium cleriveci from the average amount of chromium/l,OOO kcal of balanceci cliets and average energy intake from NHANES III. The AI is 35 ,ug/ciay for young men and 25 ,ug/ciay for young women.

... As intake increases above the RESEARCH RECOMMENDATIONS Five major types of information gaps were noted: a lack of ciata demonstrating a specific role of some of these micronutrients in human health; a dearth of studies designed specifically to estimate average requirements in presumably healthy humans; a lack of ciata on the micronutrient neecis of infants, children, adolescents, the elderly, and pregnant women; a lack of studies to determine the role of these micronutrients in reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases; and a lack of studies designed to detect adverse effects of chronic high intakes of these many of these micronutrients. Highest priority is thus given to studies that address the following research topics:
