The future is bright in the field of micronutrients and immunity. New advances in technology now permit the design of many new research studies, and an increased application of the findings to clinical and public health practices. More investigators will need to be trained in the fundamentals of both nutritional and immunological sciences. More basic information will be needed in both fields, but the scientific and clinical values of merging these two fields are already well established. The development of additional animal models will be needed to dissect out the role of each essential micronutrient and its potential importance in each step of the immune response. Based on future studies, new RDAs must be formulated and applied widely in medical and public health practices and in public education.
微量营养素与免疫领域的前景一片光明。目前技术上的新进展使得能够设计出许多新的研究，并将研究结果更多地应用于临床和公共卫生实践。需要有更多的研究人员接受营养科学和免疫科学基础方面的培训。这两个领域都将需要更多的基础信息，但将这两个领域融合的科学和临床价值已经得到充分确立。需要开发更多的动物模型，以剖析每种必需微量营养素的作用及其在免疫反应各个步骤中的潜在重要性。基于未来的研究，必须制定新的膳食营养素参考摄入量，并在医疗和公共卫生实践以及公共教育中广泛应用。
