Abstract
Nutritional status reflects supply and demand. Optimum nutritional requires sufficient nutrients to meet daily requirements. Dietary intake can be used to measure nutritional status but such records are subjective and strongly affected by recall bias. Thus, more accurate tools that can quantify nutritional status objectively are required. A biomarker of nutrition can be used to indicate nutritional status. Several different nutritional biomarkers are required to elucidate the complex relationship between health and nutrition. Several biomarkers are currently used in routine clinical practice. It can be argued that there is an ongoing dialogue as to the best biomarkers for specific nutrients or groups of nutrients in different scenarios or populations. Thus, the application of nutritional biomarkers is actively being investigated and the understanding of this topic has advanced in recent years. However, keeping abreast of current research can be problematic so we have compiled tables of the resources recommended by active practitioners and researchers. These include information on regulatory bodies, societies, organizations, and other resources.
