| Resumen |
This literature survey (one of whose authors works for the US Nation Aeronautics and Space Administration) summarises the evidence (from both US and USSR space flights) for calcium loss after extended periods of weightlessness. The loss of calcium during a 3-month space mission amounts to less than 2% of the total calcium pool in the body. Several short trips might lead to substantial bone loss, and recurrent hypercalciura might lead to the formation of renal calculi or to hypertension. Various countermeasures against bone loss are discussed. |
