Dietary reference values for micronutrients vary considerably among countries, and harmonization is needed to facilitate nutrition policy and public health strategies at the European and global levels. The EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned (EURRECA) Network of Excellence is developing generic instruments for systematically deriving and updating micronutrient reference values and dietary recommendations. These include best practice guidelines, interlinked web pages, online databases, and decision trees. Journal supplements have been published on micronutrient intakes and status, and an ongoing activity of EURRECA is the completion of systematic reviews on associations between intakes, status, and various health outcomes for priority micronutrients (ie, iron, zinc, folate, vitamin B-12, and iodine), which were selected by using a triage technique. Future activities include meta-analyses to identify dose-response relations and the variability, factorial estimates of requirements, bioavailability from whole diets, effects of genotype, and modeling techniques for addressing dietary recommendations for combinations of nutrients with common health endpoints.
膳食微量营养素参考值在各国之间差异很大，需要进行协调，以促进欧洲和全球层面的营养政策和公共卫生战略。卓越的 EURopean 微量营养素 RECommendations Aligned (EURRECA) 网络正在开发用于系统推导和更新微量营养素参考值和膳食建议的通用工具。这些工具包括最佳实践指南、相互关联的网页、在线数据库和决策树。已经发表了关于微量营养素摄入量和状况的期刊增刊，EURRECA 的一项正在进行的活动是完成关于优先微量营养素（即铁、锌、叶酸、维生素 B-12 和碘）摄入量、状况和各种健康结果之间关联的系统评价，这些评价是使用分诊技术选择的。未来的活动包括荟萃分析，以确定剂量反应关系和可变性、需求的因子估计、来自全饮食的生物利用度、基因型的影响以及用于解决具有共同健康终点的营养素组合的膳食建议的建模技术。
