A cross-sectional study of the associations between the traditional Japanese diet and nutrient intakes: the NILS-LSA project

Table 1 Daily reference values for individual nutrients and recommended energy intake values ^a

^aGuided by the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese, 2015
^bBased on the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). For nutrients with unavailable RDA data, the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) or the Tentative Dietary Goal (DG) was applied
^cRetinol equivalent
^dTocopherol equivalent
^eDaily reference values for salt intake are “≤7 g for female” and “≤8 g for male”. Thus, we converted salt to sodium: Sodium (mg) = daily reference value for salt intake (g) × [600 (mg) / 1.5 (g)]
^fDaily reference value for saturated fat is “< 7% of energy intake”. Thus, we converted saturated fat intake to volume based on “energy of saturated fatty acid =9 kcal/g”: Saturated fat (g) = daily reference value for energy intake (kcal) × 7% / 9 (kcal/g)
