Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand Including Recommended Dietary Intakes

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Nutrient Reference Values outline the levels of intake of essential nutrients considered to be adequate to meet the known nutritional needs of practically all healthy people for prevention of deficiency states. The document can be used by health professionals to assess the likelihood of inadequate intake in individuals or groups of people.

The NRVs are reviewed in an ongoing manner as resources allow. The NRVs were originally endorsed on 9 September 2005, under Section 7(1)(a) of the NHMRC Act 1992. These were published in 2006. NHMRC approved revised NRV recommendations for fluoride on 21 November 2016 and sodium on 13 July 2017 under Section 14A of the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992. These updates were published in March and September 2017 respectively.

The supporting material including the Methodological Framework, any literature reviews and evidence summaries are authored by the Australian Government Department of Health (formerly the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing) and New Zealand Ministry of Health.

Further information is available on the NRV website.
