Answer to Question 1

Biochemical measurements can help diagnose a specific nutrient deficiency or excess. This is not true of anthropometric measurements, which are only general indicators of overall nutritional status such as chronic under- or overnutrition. The disadvantage of biochemical markers is that they require technical expertise and are usually costly, and thus are most often measured when malnutrition is already suspected.

Answer to Question 2
