Analysis of Risk Factors for Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: A Logistic Regression Study

Age, BMI, and facet joint osteoarthritis (Grade III or above) were observed as potential risk factors for lumbar spondylolisthesis, with facet joint osteoarthritis showing the highest odds ratio. These findings indicate that degenerative changes in the spine, particularly those involving the facet joints, may contribute significantly to the development of lumbar instability, although further research is needed to establish causal relationships.
