Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) is the intake value thought to meet the requirement of half the healthy individuals of the same gender who are in a particular stage of life. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is the intake value recommended to meet the needs of almost all (97-98%) healthy individuals of the same gender and stage of life, while the Adequate Intake Level (AI) is based on less conclusive scientific evidence and is established when there is not enough information to set an RDA. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is not a recognized term in nutrition and is likely a typo or incorrect term for RDA.
