As a first step the specific task was to respond to questions from the working group and the Committee to Review DRIs for Energy (DRI committee or EC) relevant to the DRI framework and structuring of new -- or updates to existing -- DRI reviews and other questions in order to inform future DRI committees, including those for macronutrients.

... The exception are those categorized with severe comorbidities that should be excluded from the DRI population if their particular disease, health condition, disability, or medication or drug prescriptions is known to alter energy or nutrient requirements. Question WG4: Should a different term be considered other than "apparently healthy population" since the DRIs are developed to determine the recommended intake of nutrients to meet the needs of the majority of the general population and the health status of this population has shifted?
From page 3...
... The DRI committee also posed six questions to the standing committee as follows: Question EC1: Should a DRI committee approach identifying a general or healthy population based on inclusion or exclusion criteria? The standing committee advises that the general population base be as broad as possible, adding that each DRI committee should consult with the standing committee on their rationale for exceptions to the general population.

... 4 DEFINING POPULATIONS FOR DRI RECOMMENDATIONS: A LETTER REPORT extrapolation is needed due to limitations in the data, the DRI committee should clearly specify the rationale used to identify data gaps and the approach used to extrapolate. Finally, the standing committee concluded that delineation of gaps in knowledge should be clearly elucidated with the goal to stimulate funding opportunities to provide critical information for future DRI reviews.
