Chondromalacia Patella is observed more frequently in women than in men. This may be attributed to lower muscle mass in women. Adolescents are particularly at risk, especially during periods of rapid growth when bones and muscles elongate quickly, which can lead to temporary muscle imbalances. It can also affect athletes involved in high-impact or repetitive activities, such as runners, footballers, and cyclists. Sports involving running, squatting, and jumping movements further increase the risk. Additionally, obesity is a risk factor due to the increased stress it places on the knee joint.
