Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a test device and a diagnostic kit for predicting, assessing, and diagnosing the risk of a disease using salivary analysis. SOLUTION: The method for predicting the risk of a disease in a subject includes processes for: acquiring a whole (unfractionated) saliva sample from the subject; contacting an aliquot of the saliva with one or more lectins under conditions that allow one or more lectins to bind to one or more lectin binding components of the saliva; detecting the amount of bound lectin; and comparing the amount of bound lectin to the amount known to bind a saliva sample from a control patient. The method for reducing the risk of a disease and a method for assessing the risk of the disease at a defined level are also constituted. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
