TL;DR
This study suggests that retrolisthesis, like other spinal degenerative diseases, is associated with increased spinal bone mineral density.
Abstract
This study suggests that retrolisthesis, like other spinal degenerative diseases, is associated with increased spinal bone mineral density. Anterolisthesis, however, may involve a different etiology, because its association with bone mineral density varies by spinal level.

A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

Visual triage and visual flagging by research assistants appear to be highly effective methods for vertebral fracture assessment in osteoporosis, potentially reducing the number of false-positive and false-negative fractures detected by QM, at least relative to SQ by the radiologists.

The results suggest that the increased bone density and resistance to osteoporosis in patients with osteoarthritis may be associated with increased skeletal concentrations of IGF-I, IGF-II, and TGF beta and may reflect a generally increased biosynthetic activity of osteoblasts in these patients.
