These studies suggest the recommended daily intake of dietary fiber varies by region and age, generally ranging from 20-40 g for adults and age plus 5 g for children.
Dietary fiber is a crucial component of a healthy diet, associated with numerous health benefits including reduced risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Despite its importance, many populations do not meet the recommended daily intake of fiber. This synthesis aims to present the recommended daily intake of dietary fiber based on various research findings.

The recommended daily intake of dietary fiber varies slightly across different regions and populations but generally falls within the range of 25-38 grams for adults. For children, the intake should be adjusted based on age. Despite these recommendations, current fiber intake in many populations is below the suggested levels. Increasing the consumption of whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables is essential to meet these dietary fiber recommendations and to harness the associated health benefits.
