This table shows DVs for adults and children ≥4 years old. These are based on a 2000-calorie diet for adults and children aged 4 years and older. DVs for many of these nutrients were updated in 2019. Note that these values should be adjusted for individuals whose energy intake is significantly above or below this level, including most children. Other DVs have been established for infants 0 to 12 months, children 1 to 3 years, and pregnant and lactating women.
The DV is often, but not always, similar to the RDA or AI for that nutrient. This is because the DV represents the highest RDA or AI within a broad age range (in this case, adults and children ≥4 years old).

RAE: retinol activity equivalents; DFE: dietary folate equivalents; DVs: daily values; RDA: recommended dietary allowance; AI: adequate intake.
* DVs for fat, cholesterol, and sodium are presented as the uppermost limit that it is desirable to consume (ie, individuals should consume less than this amount).
¶ DVs for dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron are presented as a lower limit that it is desirable to consume (ie, individuals should consume at least this amount).
