NOTES: AI = Adequate Intake, used when an Estimated Average Requirement could not be determined, indicated by a asterisk (*); n = sample size; ND = not determined. Details of these analyses are provided in Tables C-2A through C-2G (calcium and potassium) and Tables C-3A through C-3G (fiber) in Appendix C—Nutrient Intake of WIC Subgroups.

DATA SOURCES: Intake data are from 1994–1996 and 1998 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals (FSRG, 2000); data set does not include intake from dietary supplements (e.g., multivitamin and mineral preparations). All infants and young children were non-breastfed. AIs are from the Dietary Reference Intake reports (IOM, 1997, 2002/2005, 2005a). Intake distributions were calculated using C-SIDE (ISU, 1997).
