This allowed us to calculate more subtle measurements of foraging performance: food discrimination errors ( = non-food items attacked/(non-food items attacked + food items attacked)) and the resulting foraging efficiency, with respect to the foraging effort required to consume a given food intake ( = consumed items/(non-food items attacked + food items attacked)).
Furthermore, among those with a given energy intake there was an inverse relationship between the nutrient dense factor score and the energy dense factor score.
Based on the estimated parameters, we ran Monte Carlo simulations in order to predict the population variation in urinary cadmium as a function of lifetime exposure, for a given daily intake.
In this respect, it is important to realize for a given sodium intake that volume status can be very different between patients, depending on the avidity of sodium retaining mechanisms.
However, application of risk assessment methodologies to this body of epidemiologic data avoids uncertainties inherent in interspecies extrapolation and in accounting for pharmacokinetic variability that may result in differential impacts of a given estimated intake dose.
The aim of the model is to give intake estimates for different oil and fat types which may be useful for both safety and nutritional reasons.
Therefore, at a given total protein intake, a higher proportion of dietary protein from plant sources might be associated with lower mortality in chronic kidney disease.
The energy-adjusted intake is the sum of the residual and the expected intake of a given nutrient at the mean energy intake of the study sample.
Despite the shortcomings of dietary intake surveys, water intake guidelines rely heavily on these reported intake values, and rarely take into account the impact of a given level of fluid intake on hydration physiology or health.
In other studies, pain was considered to be a determinant, for example when reduction in pain was not directly measured, but was used to create groups of subjects for between-subjects analysis (e.g., the percentage of subjects achieving pain relief or experiencing pain reduction by a given timeframe following the intake of a medication).
Salt sensitivity, i.e. the individual blood pressure reaction to a given change in salt intake is a continuous trait [4] and cut-off limits used to dichotomize the trait are arbitrary and have differed between studies.
