Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
This study compared bone status in infants at birth born in different seasons. Bone status was evaluated by tibial speed of sound (SOS) with a quantitative ultrasound (QUS) sonometer in 267 Chinese newborn infants. Significant differences in SOS were found in infants born in different seasons (F= 6.505, P<;0.001). Infants born in summer had the lowest SOS and infants born in winters had the highest SOS. The tibial SOS of infants born in winters was 2.0% higher than those born in summers after adjustment. The effects of season on fetal bone development were discussed.
