The 2004 Institute of Medicine report defined adequate intakes (AI) for total water for healthy Americans and Canadians. These water intake recommendations are based on US survey data and do not apply to at-risk groups.

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a significant report in 2004.
  • This report addressed reference intake levels for essential nutrients including water, sodium, and potassium.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish adequate intakes (AI) for total water for the first time.
  • To provide reference intake information for Americans and Canadians.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized US survey data to determine water intake levels.
  • Defined adequate intake (AI) as a recommended average daily intake level for healthy populations.

Main Results:

  • Established specific AI recommendations for total water intake from various sources (drinking water, beverages, food).

Related Experiment Videos

  • The AI for water was based on observed or experimentally-determined approximations of nutrient intake.

    • Conclusions:

    • The 2004 IOM report provided foundational water intake guidelines for healthy individuals.
    • Recommendations are specific to healthy populations and exclude at-risk groups.
