Modeled distributions of usual zinc intake in women in Cameroon (A) and Bangladesh (B) assuming a low within-individual to total variance ratio (WIV:total = 0.35) or high ratio (WIV:total = 0.80) using the 1-d NCI method. The EAR for zinc of 6 mg/d for nonpregnant, nonlactating women assuming a mixed or refined vegetarian diet [as determined by the International Zinc Nutrition Consultative Group (24)] was used as the cutoff for inadequacy. EAR, Estimated Average Requirement; NCI, National Cancer Institute; WIV:total, ratio of within-individual to total variance.
