“…For example, as an important biomarker of iron store status, serum ferritin could be employed as a biomarker to identify iron deficiency, which is associated with iron deficiency anemia in some undeveloped areas. WHO has set a cut-off value of serum ferritin to evaluate iron storage status to screen people who are at risk for iron deficiency so that iron supplements can be provided to the people in need [ 13 , 14 ].…”

Nutritional biomarkers can be used as important indicators of nutritional status and play crucial roles in the prevention as well as prognosis optimization of various metabolism-related diseases. Measuring dietary with the deployment of biomarker assessments provides quantitative nutritional information that can better predict the health outcomes. With the increased availability of nutritional biomarkers and the development of assessment tools, the specificity and sensitivity of nutritional biomarkers have been greatly improved. This enables efficient disease surveillance in nutrition research. A wide range of biomarkers have been used in different types of studies, including clinical trials, observational studies, and qualitative studies, to reflect the relationship between diet and health. Through a comprehensive literature search, we reviewed the well-established nutritional biomarkers of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, and their association with epidemiological studies, to better understand the role of nutrition in health and disease.
