Bone Health in Space Flight: Incomplete Bone Mineral Density Convalescence at 1 Year Postmission Without Increased Fracture Risk
Increasing time in space flight leads to larger losses in BMD and slower BMD rate of return. At 1 year postflight, preflight BMD levels at the hip and spine are only achieved by 34.0% and 46.8% of astronauts, respectively.
