. However, with increasing globalization of information and the identification of a variety of factors specific to different population subgroups that influence their nutritional needs, there was recognition of the need for a more encompassing approach to setting nutrient reference values (NRVs)

means reaching global agreement on the most appropriate concepts and approaches to establish NRVs. Global agreement on NRV methodologies are needed to: • upport the resolution of differences across countries in setting national S and international nutrition standards; • romote consistency in public and clinical health objectives; P • rovide a mechanism for designing national and international food poli P cies; and • nhance the transparency of national standards to trade and other regu E latory actions with economic, health, and safety implications.

The experiences and the lessons learned from those countries that have worked toward harmonization of methodologies for deriving NRVs provide a rich backdrop for dialogue about the possibilities and limitations of standardizing approaches to setting such reference values across countries and globally, particularly among low- and middleincome countries. The need for guidance and recommendations on methodological approaches and their potential for application to an international process for the development of NRVs, as well as the methodological approaches to recommended intakes across population subgroups (particularly young children and women of reproductive age)

current and proposed methodological approaches to setting nutrient intake recommendations across developed and developing countries; assess the feasibility of harmonizing identified methodologies using a selected nutrient test case; and offer recommendations and action steps to facilitate the harmonization and standardization of methodological approaches for setting nutrient-based intake recommendations on a global scale (see Box 1-2)

The committee's findings, conclusions, and recommendations are derived from its assessment of relevant evidence. ORGANIZATION OF THE REPORT This report reviews and evaluates the evidence for global harmonization of methodological approaches to deriving NRVs with a specific focus on young children and women of reproductive age.
