1 International Alliance of Dietary/Food Supplement Associations The 4 th IADSA International Scientific Forum Buenos Aires 1-2 September 2011 Achieving Micronutrient Adequacy and Minimising Risk of Overconsumption: The Role of Food Supplements! Is the RDA! the Appropriate Marker of Adequacy?! Jeffrey Blumberg, PhD, FACN, FASN, CNS! Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy! Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging! Tufts University! Boston, MA USA! Adequacy of Nutrient Intake: Adequate for What - Health?! Health is a state of complete physical,! mental and social well-being and! not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.! Preamble to the Constitution of the WHO! (adopted by the International Health Conference! New York, June, 1946)! 1!

4 Estimating ANR and INL x from a Symmetrical Distribution of Requirements! King et al. Food Nutr Bull 2007! RDA Definitions of Adequacy! Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)! Judged to be adequate to meet the known nutrient! needs of practically all healthy people! Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)! Mean daily nutrient intake that meets the requirement! of half the healthy individuals in particular age- and! sex-specific groups! Adequate Intake (AI)! Intake by a defined population group that appears! to sustain health! 4!

5 NAS/IOM Dietary Reference Intakes! Model for Impact of Different Criteria Used to Establish Adequacy! Because nutrients have multiple sites of action in human! metabolism, it is possible to demonstrate abnormal function! in one parameter measured or observed as a result of inadequate! intake of a nutrient, while other parameters requiring the same! nutrient appear normal or within normal ranges.! Yates Food Nutr Bull 2007! 5!

6 Criteria for Nutrient Adequacy! Nutrient thresholds are different for different outcomes:!! Vitamin C!!scurvy < urinary excretion < antioxidant!! Vitamin D!!rickets < osteoporosis < colorectal cancer!! Vitamin E!!myopathy < immune function < venous thromboembolism!! Folic acid!!megaloblastic anemia < neural tube birth defects!

US DHHS 2000; Natl Ctr Hlth Statistics 2001! 6!

7 Selecting Health Outcomes for Establishing Nutrient Reference Values! Reduction in risk of chronic disease is a concept! that should be included in the formulation of future RDAs where sufficient data for efficacy and safety exist. (IOM, 1994)! Moving beyond nutrient essentiality (prevention of deficiency syndromes) to long-term outcomes: Selection of appropriate endpoints are challenging because of a lack of precise associations between dietary intakes, nutrient status, and chronic disease.! Pathophysiology of chronic diseases are multifactorial (including genetics, lifestyle, environmental exposure) and not single nutrientspecific.! Classes of Nutritional Biomarkers! Raiten et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2011! 7!

8 Research Approaches and Possible Outcome Measures for Nutrient Adequacy! Observational - Nutrient status! Plasma vitamin K in healthy populations! Factorial Estimation or Nutrient Balance! Equilibrium maintenance of iron! Depletion/Repletion - Metabolic! Urinary excretion of 4-pyridoxic acid from vitamin B6! Bioactivity - Biochemical! Antioxidant actions of vitamin C in leukocytes! Clinical Evaluation - Functional! Vitamin A modulation of dark adaptation! Chronic disease (Randomized Clinical Trial)! Calcium-associated osteoporosis/fracture rate!

Mexico based on FAO/WHO/UNU report with BMI of 21 in men and 22 in women! 19!

20 Reference Weights and Heights Used in Deriving Nutrient Intake Values! US/Canada based on BMI collected from NHANES III between : Reference weights of adults aged applied to all adult age groups on the assumption that weight should not change at the older ages if activity is maintained! Recommended NIV based on NCHS/WHO data: For adults, it is recommended that the average weight of men and women at 18 years of age be used throughout the adult years rather than reflecting the typical secular increase in body weight with age. It is uncertain whether this secular increase is consistent with good health. For all nutrients (except energy), standard body weight uncorrected for overweight status is appropriate for estimating NIVs.! Atkinson and Koletzko. Food Nutr Bull 2007!
