What Is Spondylosis?
8. Who’s At Risk
People most at risk of spondylosis are mostly people that are ageing. This is simply on account of there being more time for their joints to deteriorate. However, there are other factors that can cause people to develop the problem sooner than they otherwise would have done.
Another contributing factor is genetics and somebody is more likely to develop spondylosis if there is a history of it in the family. There is also thought to be a link between smoking and spondylosis, and neck injuries are another contributing factor. People in occupations that put a lot of strain on the spine are also in a higher risk category.
