English

Subject field(s)
  • Dietetics
  • Hygiene and Health
DEF

The daily intake which meets the nutrient requirements of almost all apparently healthy individuals of an age and sex-specific population group.

CONT

One way to know if you are getting the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for all the nutrients you need is to follow the Food Guide Pyramid. It provides from 1600 to over 2800 calories per day depending on which foods and the number of servings you eat. The assumption is made if you will choose a variety of foods from each of the 5 food groups (Grain, Vegetable, Fruit, Milk, Meat) then you will probably get 100% of your RDA.

OBS

recommended nutrient intake; RNI: designations used by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization.

Record 5 2004-08-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrodiagnosis
  • Nervous System
DEF

The frequency of abnormal respiratory events per hour of sleep. These events are classified as Apneas or Hypopneas. Apnea is when breathing (airflow) stops for 10 seconds or more. Hypopnea is a partial blockage of airflow resulting in arousal and a possible drop in oxygen level. An RDI of 45 would indicate that the patient is experiencing complete or partial airflow blockage 45 times per hour.

CONT

Sleep-disordered breathing, which may include apneas, hypopneas and respiratory effort related arousals (RERAs), is the hallmark of OSA [obstructive sleep apnea]. It is currently standard in clinical practice and epidemiologic studies to assess the severity of sleep-disordered breathing by combining the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep in an index called the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or the respiratory disturbance index (RDI). This index has been shown to be both a reproducible measurement and a predictor of associated cardiovascular disease.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électrodiagnostiques
  • Système nerveux
DEF

Fréquence d'épisodes de respiration anormale pendant une heure de sommeil.

CONT

La survenue de plus de cinq apnées ou dix apnées + hypopnées par heure de sommeil (index apnées hypopnées, IAH) et l'existence de symptômes nocturnes (le ronflement essentiellement) et diurnes (la somnolence diurne excessive, en particulier) définissent le syndrome d'apnées du sommeil (SAS).
