Question

Match List I with List II:

List I (Dietary Reference Intake)	List II (Purpose)
A. Recommended Dietary Allowances	I. The highest average daily nutrient intake levels that are likely to pose no risk of toxicity to almost all healthy individuals of a particular population group.
B. Chronic Disease Risk Reduction Intakes	II. Ranges of intakes set for the energy-yielding nutrients that are sufficient to provide adequate total energy and nutrients while minimizing the risk of chronic diseases.
C. Tolerable Upper Intake	III. The average daily nutrient intake level that meets the needs of nearly all (97 to 98 percent) healthy people in a particular sex and life stage group.
D. Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges	IV. Levels of nutrient intake associated with low risks of chronic diseases.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

Dietary Reference Intakes are used to guide nutrient intake to maintain health and reduce chronic disease risks.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct matches are:

• A. Recommended Dietary Allowances: (III). These define daily nutrient intakes adequate for nearly all (97–98%) healthy individuals.
• B. Chronic Disease Risk Reduction Intakes: (IV). These levels reduce chronic disease risk in populations.
• C. Tolerable Upper Intake: (I). The highest daily nutrient intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects.
• D. Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges: (II). These are intake ranges for energy-yielding nutrients, balancing total energy and minimizing chronic disease risk.

Thus, the correct sequence is: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
