astronauts lose bone muscle because they are not used to the gravity conditions in space. They will also lose muscle and need to excersing while in space and also before leaving Earth.

I know you can't get much exercise in space, is I don't think you can lose weight going to the moon. Astronaut's have to do at least 1 hour of exercise in space to keep their bone structure, sense you just float around.
In weightlessness people lose about 1 to 2 percent of bone mass each month. This loss is largely in the lower bones -- the lumbar vertebrae and the leg bones.
Due to there being no gravity in space the strain on the body is reduced immensely. As a result muscles waste away and bone density decreases. Therefore exercise is a must. Even once astronauts return to earth they are weak as a result of gravity.

in space there is very little resistance from lack of gravity so they get literally no exercise in space and they can lose muscle mass and bone density. also space suits are hard to move in.
If by space you are referring to volume, then NO. Matter doesn't lose a considerable amount of mass when it changes volume. See: Law of Conservation of Mass. However, if the volume increases and the mass does not the density of the object decreases. Summary: No. It doesn't lose mass. But it does lose density.
Loss of bone and muscle density.
As we age, the bones lose calcium, which lowers their density, making older people more prone to breaks.
If you want to get your bone density score checked out you should go see specialist. Have your doctor refer you to a bone specialist to do a bone density test on you.
A bone density test employs x-rays to measure the amount of calcium and other bone minerals are retained with the bone segment. A bone density test is used to diagnose osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is the name for low bone density.
Bone density measurements can help detect the onset of
No, it shows the density of the bone, People that have arthritis however are often more likely to get bone density problems because of the drugs they have to use to control the disease and often restrictions in their lifestyle may also make them more prone to bone density problems.
Due to mineral loss and lower activity, bone density decreases.
Ultrasonic bone density testingUltrasound and CT Scans are typically ised to check for this condition.
