Abstract
The nutritional status of an individual is usually the result of multiple factors which interact with each other in different proportions. Acknowledging the role of diet in the onset of many diseases, assessment of the nutritional status of an individual/family/community is of extreme public health importance. The nutritional assessment is done with an aim to obtain specific information about the prevalence and geographic distribution of nutritional disorders in a given community/a specified population group, to identify nutritionally vulnerable high risk groups and to assess the role of different epidemiological factors in the natural history of the nutritional deficiency disorders. To conclude, the comprehensive nutritional assessment is an effective tool to assess the prevalence of nutritional disorders, to plan corrective measures and simultaneously evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented strategies.
