NOTES: N = 217. For percent inadequate calculations, the approach of IOM (2000b) was applied in which, when combining groups with different EARs, intakes in one of the groups are rescaled so they can be compared to the EAR of the other group. See additional notes following this table.

NOTES for Tables J-45 through J-60: — = not applicable due to no recommendation; % Inadeq = percentage of individuals with usual intake below the EAR; αTOC = α-tocopherol; AI = Adequate Intake; DFE = dietary folate equivalents; EAR = Estimated Average Requirement; NA = not available (data were inadequate to estimate); NA = not applicable; ND = not determined; NE = not evaluated; RAE = retinol activity equivalents; SE = standard error; UL = Tolerable Upper Intake Level. The ULs for folate, vitamin E, niacin, and magnesium represent intake from pharmacological agents only and do not include food intake. Vitamin D is not included because intake is a poor reflection of status.

Subgroup definitions are as follows:

WIC: the subgroup of individuals reporting participation in WIC regardless of income level Eligible non-WIC: the subgroup of individuals with incomes less than or equal to 185 percent of poverty who did not report participation in WIC

* Adequate Intake value.

SOURCES: Intake data are from NHANES 2005–2012 (USDA/ARS, 2005–2012). Intake recommendations from Dietary Reference Intake reports (IOM, 1997, 1998, 2000a, 2001, 2002/2005, 2005, 2011b).
