Definition
-
Nutrients that are overconsumed or underconsumed and current intakes may pose a substantial public health concern. Data on nutrient intake, corroborated with biochemical markers of nutritional status where available, and association with health outcomes are all used to establish a nutrient as a nutrient of concern. Underconsumed nutrients, or “shortfall nutrients," are those with a high prevalence of inadequate intake either across the U.S. population or in specific groups, relative to expert group standards. Overconsumed nutrients are those with a high prevalence of excess intake either across the population or in specific groups, relative to expert group standards.
