Findings in 3 clinical trials challenge the accuracy of the Institute of Medicine’s estimated average requirements for vitamin A in children and women

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2021
Vitamin A (VA) estimated average requirements (EARs) for women and children are extrapolated from rats and adult males. The retinol isotope dilution (RID) test can sensitively characterize VA status and intake requirements.These studies evaluated current EARs for children 4-8 y and women 19-30 y old.Zambian children (n = 133, ages 5-7 y), US women (n =
