Aims:

- Determine if FE strength cutoffs could be identified from these datasets to be used as a decision-tool by Space Medicine.
- If FE cut-offs cannot be determined from the data review, then make recommendations for tasks and actions required to determine such FE cut-offs.
Integration/Unique Aspects: Assemble panel of investigators of population studies, with QCT and FE modeling, to provide recommendation.
