Diet for the smallest, least active people in each age/sex groups is equivalent to the Foundation<br />

Diet.)<br />

The number of serves and serve sizes modelled in the Modelling System were considered together<br />

with other sources of evidence to determine the recommendations in these guidelines (see<br />

Section A2.3 below).<br />

A2.3 Development of the <strong>Australian</strong> <strong>Dietary</strong><br />

Guideline recommendations<br />

In translating the evidence to formulate the <strong>Dietary</strong> Guideline recommendations the Working<br />

Committee considered the following sources of evidence.<br />

The commissioned literature review: A Review of the Evidence to Address Targeted Questions<br />

to Inform the Revision of the <strong>Australian</strong> <strong>Dietary</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> (referred to as ‘the Evidence<br />

Report’) [14].<br />

The commissioned report: A Modelling System for Australia to Inform the Revision of the<br />

<strong>Australian</strong> Guide to <strong>Health</strong>y <strong>Eat</strong>ing (referred to as ‘the Food Modelling’ document) [10].<br />

NHMRC and NZ Ministry of <strong>Health</strong> 2006 Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New<br />

Zealand Including Recommended <strong>Dietary</strong> Intakes (referred to as ‘the NRV document’) [9].<br />

Key authoritative government reports and documents provided by the Working<br />

Committee and the NHMRC, including evidence in material provided by stakeholders<br />

during consultation processes and findings of relevant large, quality, peer-reviewed studies<br />

published after 2009.<br />

The previous <strong>Dietary</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> for <strong>Australian</strong>s series and their supporting documentation<br />

[35-37].<br />

The information in the previous guidelines was used as the basis. New evidence was assessed to<br />

determine whether associations between food, dietary patterns and health outcomes had<br />

strengthened, weakened, or stayed the same since the last review of the evidence.<br />

The final wording of the <strong>Dietary</strong> Guideline recommendations was developed by a Working<br />

Committee consensus approach and focus tested.<br />
