Is it normal for a 20 year old female of average build to have moderate facet arthrosis/hypertrophy of lumbar spine? what causes it so young??

Yes: yes, it is unusual. One has to look for other causes of metabolic bone disease or endocrine disease of parathyroid diabetes or malformation of the adjacent joints or vertebra.
