About risk factors:

Risk factors for Frozen Shoulder are factors that do not seem to be a direct cause of the disease, but seem to be associated in some way. Having a risk factor for Frozen Shoulder makes the chances of getting a condition higher but does not always lead to Frozen Shoulder. Also, the absence of any risk factors or having a protective factor does not necessarily guard you against getting Frozen Shoulder.
