Nutritional science plays a pivotal role in human health and overall well-being, serving as the foundation for life-sustaining physiological functions. A robust understanding of the various indicators that accurately reflect an individual's nutritional status is instrumental in addressing global health challenges. In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the utility and necessity of integrating multiple indicators to comprehensively evaluate, monitor, and improve nutritional status on both an individual and population level. From biomarkers reflecting micronutrient status to dietary patterns indicative of overall dietary quality, a holistic approach to nutritional assessment is essential for informing evidence-based policies and interventions to improve public health. Despite significant advancements, there remain gaps in our understanding of how best to measure and interpret these indicators across diverse populations and environments. Ongoing debates focus on the reliability and validity of different assessment tools, the need for standardized methodologies, and the integration of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors into nutritional evaluations.
