Biochemical tests | objective and quantitative assessment of nutritional status (detect deficits before clinical signs and symptoms) |
Static test | direct (biochemical) |

Functional test example | dark adaptation for vitamin A |
Limitation functional test | nonspecific; not all nutrients have one |
Sensitivity | probability that the test is positive given that the patient is sick |
Specificity | probability that the test is negative given that the patient is not sick |
No single test is___ | sufficient for monitoring nutritional status by itself |
