Adequacy ratios in the absence of ASF; the ratio of average daily availability of a nutrient to the requirement for a representative consumer. Data from https://impactnutrients.ifpri.org/nutrientModeling/.
Reference nutrient supply: average nutrient supply in the reference scenario (units) per person per day.
Micrograms of dietary folate equivalents.
Milligrams of niacin equivalents.
Micrograms of retinol activity equivalents.
Does not account for vitamin synthesized in the presence of sunlight.
Milligrams of α-tocopherol.
There are no recommended daily allowances for fat, which prevents the calculation of an adequacy ratio. Recommendations for fat intake are that total fat should contribute 25–35% of total energy intake, and saturated fat should contribute less than 10% of total energy intake. In the reference scenario China’s share of calories from total and saturated fat was 24% and 7% respectively.
