As hypervigilance is a long-recognized part of PTSD, it is not surprising that the latter is a predictive factor for the former.

Trauma without associated PTSD is unlikely to lead to hypervigilance. This suggests that anyone who experiences PTSD is likely to develop hypervigilance, regardless of the presence or intensity of other symptoms.
