6. Risk Factors

Older people, specifically those over 50, are more likely to develop anterolisthesis. The condition typically progresses more quickly in women than in men. Some people are born with thinner vertebral bones, which increases the risk of spondylolisthesis. Athletes and weightlifters are also more likely to have anterolisthesis due to the repetitive strain they place on their bodies.
