      I suspect they’d need to do some power lifting to avoid accelerated osteoporosis in the lower gravity, as the bones need to be put under strain and shock to stay healthy.

      Depends on how active you are and how low the gravity is. A lower gravity like on Mars would be probably be more helpful than harmful for elderly people.
