Gluteus Maximus Shape Reveals Sex-specific Associations between Morphology and Metabolic Dysfunction

2026-04-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The gluteus maximus (GM) is a major hip extensor essential for mobility and metabolic health. Most MRI studies rely on global measures, such as muscle volume or fat fraction, which can overlook spatially localised remodelling. Here, we integrate conventional volumetric and fat fraction metrics with 3D mesh-based shape phenotypes to provide a spatially resolved characterisation of GM morphology...
