TABLE NOTES
The statistics in this table were estimated from day 1 and day 2
dietary recall interviews conducted in What We Eat in America
(WWEIA), National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES)
2015-2018 and 30-day dietary supplement interviews also conducted
in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
2015-2018. Trained interviewers, using theUSDA 5-step Automated
Multiple-Pass Method, conducted the 24-hour dietary recalls. The
day 1 recalls were conducted in-person; the day 2 recalls were
conducted by telephone 3-10 days afterthe day 1 recall. Food
intakes were coded and nutrient values determined using the USDA
Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies 2015-2016 and
2017-2018.
The table includes data from individuals 1 year and over,
excluding breast-fed children and pregnant or lactating females.
Breast-fed children are excluded because human milk is not
quantified indietary recall interviews. The sample of pregnant and
lactating females is not large enough to allow for reliable
estimates. Individuals with missing or incomplete 30-day dietary
supplement dataare also excluded.
Sample weights designed for dietary analysis were used to allow
estimates representative of the U.S. population for the years of
collection.
The assessments presented in this table cover nutrient intakes
from food, beverages (including water) and, dietary supplements.
They do not contain intakes from medications.
Usual Nutrient Intakes
Usual intakes (expressed on a per day basis) are an estimate of
the usual or habitual intake over the long term, as opposed to what
was reported on the days surveyed. The National CancerInstitute
(NCI) Method
https://epi.grants.cancer.gov/diet/usualintakes/method.html was
used to produce group usual intake distributions from food and
beverages. Daily intake from dietarysupplements derived from the
30-day questionnaire and the NCHS Dietary Supplement Database was
added to the estimates of usual intake from food and beverages to
produce the distributionsof total usual nutrient intake presented
in this table set. Information on this distribution is presented as
mean and percentiles of usual nutrient intake with standard errors
for a specificgender/age/lifestyle group.
When applicable, the estimated total usual nutrient intakes are
compared to age/gender specific Dietary Reference Intakes
(DRIs)http://nationalacademies.org/HMD/Activities/Nutrition/SummaryDRIs/DRI-Tables.aspx.
The DRIs, nutrient reference values developed by the Institute of
Medicine of the National Academies,are used to assess and plan the
diets of healthy people. Estimates of percentages less than, within
range of, or greater than the DRI, plus the standard error are
presented for eachage/gender/lifestyle group.
DRI Definitions
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR): The average daily nutrient
intake level that is estimated to meet the requirements of half of
the healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gendergroup.
The EAR is used to estimate the prevalence of inadequate intakes in
a population group.
Adequate Intake (AI): The recommended average daily intake level
based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or
estimates of nutrient intake by a group (or groups) ofapparently
healthy people that are assumed to be adequate.
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL): The highest average daily
nutrient intake level that is likely to pose no risk of adverse
health effects to almost all individuals in the general population.
Asintake increases above the UL, the potential risk of adverse
effects may increase.
Chronic Disease Risk Reduction Intake (CDRR): Reductions in
intake that exceed the CDRR are expected to reduce chronic disease
risk within the apparently healthy population. Establishedfor
sodium using evidence of the beneficial effect of reducing sodium
intake on cardiovascular disease risk, hypertension risk, systolic
blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure.

Symbol Legend
* Indicates an estimate that may be less statistically reliable
than estimates that are not flagged. The rules for flagging
estimates are as follows:
Mean: An estimated mean is flagged when based on a sample size
of less than 30 times the variance inflation factor (VIF), where
the VIF represents a broadly calculated average designeffect, or
when the relative standard error is greater than 30 percent. The
VIF used in this report is 2.52.
Percentiles: Estimated 50th percentile values are flagged when n
is less than 30 times the VIF, where n is the sample size.
Estimated values at the other percentiles are flagged when np is
lessthan 8 times the VIF, where n is the sample size and p is 0.25
at the 25th and 75th percentile, 0.10 at the 10th and 90th
percentile, and 0.05 at the 5th and 95th percentile.
Percentage above or below a DRI value: An estimated percentage
between 25 and 75 percent is flagged when based on a sample size of
less than 30 times the VIF, or when the relativestandard error is
greater than 30 percent. An estimated percentage less than or equal
to 25 or greater than or equal to 75 is flagged when the smaller of
np and n(1-p) is less than 8 times theVIF, where n is the sample
size and p is the percentage expressed as a fraction.
-- Estimate not displayed due to small sample size and for
consistency of presentation.
