A new set of recommended daily allowances for the Malay peninsula is a revision of the 1969 recommendations (NAR 43 8230). Recommendations are tabulated for the daily intake of energy, protein, Ca, Fe, vitamins A and D, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folacin, vitamin B-12 and ascorbic acid, for men (average bodyweight 55 kg), women (50 kg), pregnant women, lactating women, infants, children (1 to 9 years), boys (10 to 19) and girls (10 to 19). Separate age ranges are specified within each subgroup. The basis on which each of the requirements has been established is discussed briefly.
