How men and women react differently to life in space

enlarge
According to NASA, male and female astronauts' health is affected differently over time, by spaceflight.

In 2011, a report from a National Academy of Sciences' decadal survey emphasized the need to examine and understand the influences that sex and gender have on physiological and psychological or behavioral changes that occur during spaceflight. In response, NASA and NSBRI assembled six workgroups to investigate and summarize the current body of published and unpublished human and animal spaceflight research data. The groups focused on cardiovascular, immunological, sensorimotor, musculoskeletal, reproductive and behavioral implications on spaceflight adaptation for men and women.
