The "V" glute shape is commonly associated with which of the following?

The "V" glute shape is typically associated with the development of a specific body contour, which can largely be influenced by hormonal changes that occur with aging. As individuals age, hormonal fluctuations affect body composition, including the distribution of fat and muscle. These hormonal changes can lead to a loss of muscle mass in some areas while fat may accumulate in others, contributing to how the glutes may appear.

In this context, while genetics, fat loss, and increased muscle mass also play significant roles in shaping the glutes, they do not directly account for the characteristic "V" shape as strongly as hormonal changes do during aging. For instance, increased muscle mass generally leads to a fuller appearance rather than the "V" shape, while fat loss can alter appearance but is not specifically linked to forming a "V" shape. Thus, hormonal changes linked with aging are more explicitly connected to the evolution of body shape like the "V" glute shape.
