Table A1.
Absorbed doses calculated from the McClure [1] data on intakes from water and diet 1.
| Age (year) | Weight (kg) | Water (mL/day) | Diet (mg/day) | Total (mg/day) | Intake (mg/kg/day) | Absorbed Dose (mg/kg/day) 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 | 8 à 16 | 0.39–0.56 | 0.027–0.265 | 0.417–0.825 | 0.026–0.103 (0.065) | 0.036–0.058 (0.047) |
| 4 to 6 | 13 à 24 | 0.52–0.745 | 0.036–0.360 | 0.556–1.105 | 0.023–0.085 (0.054) | 0.030–0.049 (0.040) |
| 7 to 9 | 16 à 35 | 0.65–0.93 | 0.045–0.450 | 0.695–1.380 | 0.020–0.086 (0.053) | 0.029–0.048 (0.039) |
| 10 to 12 | 25 à 54 | 0.81–1.66 | 0.056–0.560 | 0.866–1.725 | 0.016–0.069 (0.043) | 0.023–0.037 (0.031) |
1 Absorbed optimal doses were calculated by multiplying mean water and diet intake by their respective bioavailability factors of 83% and 40% and dividing that total absorbed dose by the mean weight for that age group.
