Biomarker for evaluating nutritional status and nutrient intakes.
A measurable biological indicator reflecting the intake, status, or effect of a nutrient on the body. It allows for an objective evaluation of a person's nutritional state.
Nutritional biomarkers are measurable substances or parameters in blood, urine, or tissues that indicate an individual's nutritional status. They can reflect recent nutrient intakes (short-term markers) or long-term status (long-term markers). These markers are essential in preventive nutrition as they enable early detection of nutritional deficiencies or excesses before clinical symptoms appear. They are also used to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional interventions and adapt personalized recommendations.
