Modern Methods of Non-Invasive Assessment of the State of Provision of Particular Nutrients

Abstract

An analysis of recent studies on non-invasive technologies for assessing the state of provision of particular nutrients as key factors of human health and physical development is provided. The peculiarities of determining the nutritional status, the role of environmental factors, and the features of assessment in conditions of nutrients emitting toxicity are being given. While generalizing various approaches to the analysis of the provision of particular nutrients, several conclusions regarding the prospects for the further development of non-invasive assessment was given. These prospects include a new complex-systemic approach based on laboratory studies, application of standard clinical assessment schemes and functional tests. They also include the assessment of environmental factors and instrumental methods for assessing actual nutrition, designed to answer the results of the latest scientific research and to increase the efficiency of determining determining the nutritional status in order to achieve effective prevention of non-communicable diseases and prolong longevity.
