In this report, sex/gender research relevant to reproduction on Earth, in conjunction with the extant human and animal observations in space, was used to identify knowledge gaps and prioritize recommendations for future sex- and gender-specific surveillance and monitoring of male and female astronauts. With overall increased durations of contemporary space missions, a deeper understanding of sex/gender effects on reproduction-related responses and adaptations to the space environment is warranted to minimize risks and insure healthy aging of the men and women who travel into space.
在本报告中,结合地球上与生殖相关的性/性别研究以及现有的太空人类和动物观测数据,以确定知识空白,并为未来针对男性和女性宇航员的性别特异性监测和监督提出优先建议。随着当代太空任务持续时间的总体增加,有必要更深入地了解性/性别对生殖相关反应和太空环境适应的影响,以将风险降至最低,并确保进入太空的男性和女性健康老龄化。
