Summary Report of the Dietary Reference Intakes

Completed

Since 1998, the Institute of Medicine has issued eight exhaustive volumes of DRIs that offer quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets applicable to healthy individuals in the United States and Canada.

All eight volumes are summarized in this reference volume, Dietary Reference Intakes: The Essential Reference for Dietary Planning and Assessment.

Organized by nutrient for ready use, this reference volume reviews the function of each nutrient in the human body, food sources, usual dietary intakes, and effects of deficiencies and excessive intakes.
