Abstract
The exploration of space presents unique challenges to human health due to the microgravity environment. Extended exposure to microgravity can lead to a variety of physiological and psychological health hazards, including musculoskeletal deterioration, cardiovascular deconditioning, neurovestibular disturbances, and impaired immune function. This review article explores the current understanding of these health hazards and examines potential therapeutic approaches to mitigate these risks, ensuring the safety and well-being of astronauts during long-duration space missions.
