Abstract

Objective

To determine normative values for volume and fat content of the gluteus medius (GMed) and minimus (GMin) muscle in healthy volunteers and to evaluate their dependence on age, gender and leg dominance.

Materials and methods

The IRB approval was obtained for this study. 80 healthy volunteers (females, 40; males, 40; age range 20–62 years), divided into four age groups, were included. Fat- and water-signal-separated MR images of the pelvis were acquired on a 3.0 T MR with a 3-point mDIXON sequence. Normalized volume and fat-signal fraction (FSF) of the GMed (V_iGMed, FSFGMed) and GMin (V_iGMin, FSFGMin) muscles were determined.

Results

The overall mean volumes (normalized) and FSF ± SD: V_iGMed 105.13 ± 16.30 cm³; V_iGMin 30.24 ± 5.15 cm³; FSFGMed 8.13 ± 1.70 % and FSFGMin 9.89 ± 2.72 %. Comparing different age subgroups within each gender no significant differences were found concerning the volumes and FSFs (except FSFGMin in male subgroup aged 20–29 versus 50–62 years, P = 0.014). Comparing FSFs differences between the two genders, only in 20–29 years subgroup, FSFGMed (P =0.003) and FSFGMin (P =0.002) were greater in female. Volume differences between the two legs were not significant (P > 0.077); FSFGMed and FSFGMin (P =0.005 for both) were significantly lower in the dominant leg in female but not in male group (P = 0.454 for FSFGMed and P = 0.643 for FSFMin).

Conclusion

No age dependency was evident for volume normative data for GMed and GMin and normative data for FSF values showed no age- or gender dependency.
