Relationship between the Second to Fourth Finger Length Ratio and Calcaneus Quantitative Ultrasound
Abstract This study aimed to characterize the relationship between the ratio of the length of the second and fourth fingers (2D:4D value) and the speed of sound of the calcaneus by quantitative ultrasound (QUS-SOS) in undergraduate female students. We recruited 138 young women with a mean age of 19....
