Self‐Administered Taste Testing Without Water: Normative Data for the 53‐Item Waterless Empirical Taste Test (WETT)
This study provides normative data based on 1392 healthy subjects for interpreting a patient's performance on a reliable self-administered taste test that requires no liquid stimuli or rinses. Its findings support the view that both sex and age are significant determinants of taste function in the general population.
