Recommended Dietary Allowance for Japanese (RDA-J), the 6th revision (2000) newly introduced the concept of dietary reference intakes (DRIs). In this study, to review possible problems of RDA-J, the 6th revision, we conducted an questionnaire survey to the members of the Japanese society of nutrition and dietetics in 2002. Among randomly selected 1000 members, a total of 478 individuals responded to the questionnaire. The result indicated that RDA-J, the 6th revision could not be easily applied to individuals with diseases or elderly people in practical settings (51.3%, 43.4%, respectively). The RDAs of fatty acids (17.2%), vitamin A (13.8%) and beta-carotene (14.3%) might have some problems to use for preparing menu, diet surveys and so on, because appropriate values were not available for these nutrients on food composition table, the 5th revision. The needs for opportunities to attend training courses on the application of RDA and DRIs were large (85.4%). These data suggest that technical supports are important to solve some problems in practical uses of RDA and DRIs.
