From: Dehn at MIT-MULTICS (Joseph W. Dehn III) Is there anything in the research on calcium loss in zero-G to indicate the long term effects of low-G (Moon or Mars)? Does anyone have any idea whether there is some threshold value of gravity above which the loss is insignificant, or whether for each planet the loss would just continue until some specific amount has been lost?

I think the fast answer about calcium loss in low-G (not free-fall)
environments is "insufficient data". It is very hard to simulate
a low-G environment realistically on Earth.
