Question 3

What is an advantage and a disadvantage of using DRI and DRA?

Accepted Answer

An advantage of using DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes) and DRA (Dietary Reference Allowances) is that they provide specific guidelines for nutrient intake based on age, gender, and life stage, which can help individuals make informed decisions about their diet and ensure they are meeting their nutritional needs.

However, a disadvantage of using DRI and DRA is that they may not account for individual variations in nutrient requirements, such as genetics, metabolism, and health conditions. This one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable for everyone and could lead to either overconsumption or underconsumption of certain nutrients for some individuals. Therefore, it's important to consider these guidelines as a starting point and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized nutrition advice.

Why is it important to calculate interresponse time before beginning a DRO schedule?

Accepted Answer

A)  it is not important because DRO schedules are based on the number of behaviors rather than on time intervals
