From page 7...
... Beginning in 1994, the United States and Canada cosponsored developing and publishing a set of nutrient-based DRI values. The process for deriving these has evolved; the current approach includes the following: • A review of current reference intake values to determine the need for updating on the basis of available sufficient new evidence; • The inclusion of the concept of a chronic disease risk reduction (CDRR)
From page 8...
... JUSTIFICATION The Federal DRI Steering Committee is interested in adapting the evidence scan methodology to develop a framework for evidence scanning candidate nutrients to identify those that may have new or significant data relevant to future DRI reviews. The goal of this evidence scan was not to conduct a formal systematic review but to thoroughly scan the peer-reviewed published literature to determine the status of evidence on riboflavin as a candidate nutrient for a DRI review.
From page 9...
... Chapter 4 provides the committee's discussion of the findings and perspective on future directions. BOX 1-1 Statement of Task An ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will be convened to develop a framework for scanning the peer-reviewed published literature on riboflavin that is based on the generic analytic framework for Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)
