Exercise: The amount, type, and intensity of exercise can impact hip dysplasia.
Trauma: Injuries or trauma during skeletal development can increase the risk.
Growth rate: Rapid growth can increase the likelihood of developing hip dysplasia.
Body weight: Being overweight can put undue stress on the hip joints.
Housing: Slippery floors can increase the risk.
Access: Stairs can increase the risk.
