Abstract :

The role of diet as far as  risk of majority of chronic diseases in human beings is concerned cannot be underestimated. Measurement error in self reported dietary assessment have obscured   strong and consistent associations from observational studies of dietaryconsumption in relation to chronic disease risk. Introduction of biomarkers to caliate the measurement errors in dietary studies is a welcome step to improve estimates of magnitude of contribution of diet in affecting individual disease risk within populations. Advances in omics has generated hope to obtain new biomarkers, besides which are currently available, of various kinds using genomics,epigenomics,lipidomics, metabolomics etc. New biomarkers are needed to support evidence based clinical guidance and effective health programs and policies related to food,nutrition and health.
