According to research, self-reported dietary intake can be underreported by 10-30%, highlighting the need for a multi-faceted approach to accurately assess a client's dietary needs. Understanding a client's nutritional status is foundational for creating effective, personalized health and wellness plans that yield lasting results.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malnutrition—including both undernutrition and overnutrition—presents significant threats to human health globally. The main purpose of nutritional status is to evaluate this balance of nutrient intake and utilization within the body to determine an individual's overall health and well-being.
