Nutritional status of an individual is generally dependent on two factors, external factors such as food safety, cultural, social, economical factors and internal factors, which include age, sex, nutrition, behavior, physical activity and diseases of the person.
Nutritional status assessment is done to get an objective estimate to whether an individual or a community is well nourished, poorly nourished or overnourished. This is mainly done by:
Patient history
Clinical examination
Laboratory examination
Recording dietary intake
