They do not apply to people who are ill: the dris include values for different life-stage groups. These values are an approximation of the average nutrient intake that appears to sustain a desired indicator of health: the tolerable upper intake levels (uls) help individuals prevent nutrient toxicities. Typically, the plot has the shape of a bell curve, i. e. , a normal or binomial distribution: what the requirement distribution does allow an individual to determine is the probability that they are meeting their requirement. 98% of the population): an rda is therefore a higher value than the ear. An rda is determined by starting with the ear value and using a statistic called the standard deviation (sd). Standard deviation is a measure of the range or width of the requirement distribution curve.
