Think 'calcium loss'. I think this affects women much more severely than men. So now we're sending post-menopausal women to Mars? Seriously, women don't have a higher risk of osteoporosis until after menopause. Other risk factors include being Asian or Caucasian, taking certain drugs, smoking, alcoholism, bone structure and body weight, lack of weight-bearing exercise and heredity. rl |
