1 Nutrient intake data are presented as percentiles of usual intake, mean ± SE, or percentages of NRV compliance. NRV, nutrient reference values; AI, adequate intake, UL, tolerable upper level of intake; RAE, retinol activity equivalent; DFE, dietary folate equivalent; 2 All NRVs are from the NHMRC Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand [4]; 3 BW, bodyweight; 4 The UL for vitamin A is for retinol only; 5 The AI for niacin is based on preformed niacin only.
