Taken together, these data show that while the volume of saliva collected is relatively constant throughout the day, there may be significant differences at certain time points. 3.4 Consistency and Reproducibility of the Measurements Measurement consistency and reproducibility were assessed using ICC (ICC 1 ; ICC 2 ; ICC 3 ; and ICC 3 adjusted for age and sex), as summarised in Table 2 .
