1.	Consider the following statements-Assertion (A): Biochemical test to know the nutritional level is useful in the early detection of nutritional disease.Reason (R): The disease can be caught indirectly by laboratory tests.1. (A) and (R) both are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).2. (A) is correct, but (R) is wrong.3. (A) is wrong, but (R) is correct.4. (A) and (R) both are not correct.
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : (A) and (R) both are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). Explanation:- The nutritional status of an individual reflects the extent to which their physiological needs of nutrients have been covered at a particular life stage. Dietary assessment and nutritional status are traditionally measured by means of dietary intake data, such as 24-h dietary patterns. Biochemicals provide a more proximal measure of nutrient status than dietary intake. So by, Generally speaking, a nutritional biomarker is a characteristic that can be objectively measured in different biological samples and can be used as an indicator of nutritional status with respect to the intake or metabolism of dietary constituents
