Abstract

The requirements for energy, proteins, vitamins - A, B1, B2, C, D, B12 - Folie acid, and iron and calcium were estimated and for this purpose the method recommended by the FAO/OMS committees was used. Based on the presupposition that an individual achieves a development potential by the age of 19, energy requirements were established using as references the 97th percentile of the population. Adult requirements were estimated for the typical-man and typical-woman, representative of the 50th percentile of the Brazilian population. The protein requirements and those of the other nutrients were calculated to meet the needs of the 95th percentile of the population.
