Objective: It is know that gluteus medius and minimus muscle measures change according to gender and body mass index (BMI). It may differ anatomically between right and left sides. Accordingly the study was planned to investigate the differences between the right and left ventrogluteal (VG) regions according to the active and passive use of the individuals. Material and Methods: The study was planned in a descriptive, observational and cross-sectional manner to examine the anatomical structure of the VG site, as right and left. The study was performed on 93 healthy persons between the age of 18 and 35 years, who agreed to participate in the study. In the collection of the research data, the form including the indicative characteristics and the ultrasonographic measurement data of the individuals were used. Results: It was found that the differences of the gluteus medius in the right and left sides were statistically significant (p<0.05), when compared by gender there was a significant difference only in women (p<0.05), and there was a significant difference (p=0.002; p=0.004) with regard to BMI. When the correlation of the values measured according to BMI are examined, it was found that there was a high level of relationship and significant difference to the highest degree between the right and left VG site measurements in a positive way, in normal, mildly obese and obese individuals. Conclusions: It has been observed that there can be differences on the right or left side of the VG site. These differences also vary according to gender and BMI.

Amaç: Gluteus medius ve minimus kas ölçülerinin cinsiyete ve beden kitle indeksine (BKİ) göre değiştiği bilinmektedir. Sağ ve sol tarafta da anatomik olarak farklılık gösterebilir. Bu doğrultuda çalışma bireylerin aktif ve pasif kullanımına göre sağ ve sol ventrogluteal (VG) bölgeler arasındaki farklılıkları araştırmak için planlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, VG bölgenin, sağ ve sol olarak anatomik yapısının incelenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilen tanımlayıcı, gözlemsel ve kesitsel olarak planlandı. Çalışma 18-35 yaş arası sağlıklı ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 93 bireyde gerçekleştirildi. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında, bireylerin tanıtıcı özelliklerini içeren ve ultrasonografik ölçüm verilerinin olduğu form kulanıldı. Bulgular: Gluteus medius ve kemik uzunluklarının sağ ve sol bölge arasında farklılıklarının istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu (p<0,05), cinsiyete göre karşılaştırıldığında sadece kadınlarda anlamlı olduğu (p<0,05), BKİ'ye göre anlamlı farklılık olduğu (p=0,002; p=0,004) görüldü. BKİ'ye göre ölçüm alınan değerlerin korelasyonuna bakıldığında, normal, hafif obez ve obez bireylerde sağ ve sol VG bölge ölçümü arasında pozitif yönde, yüksek düzeyde ilişki ve ileri derecede anlamlı fark olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: VG bölgede sağ veya sol tarafta farklılıkların olabileceği görülmüştür. Bu farklılıklar cinsiyete ve BKİ'ye göre de değişmektedir.
