The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) may be exacerbated by spaceflight hazards including radiation, isolation, distance from the Earth, gravity fields, and closed or confined environments. This project aims to use epidemiologic, scientific research evidence of surrogate spaceflight stressors on analog populations in terrestrial cohorts to model CVD risk for spaceflight conditions. To date, Dr. Butler and the multi-disciplinary CVD Spaceflight Equivalent Stressors (SES) team have conducted a formal systematic literature review on the risk of sleep loss as it relates to cardiovascular disease outcomes and are currently working on a meta-analysis for the data gathered from nearly 100 studies and their various CVD outcomes. The research will continue to examine other surrogate stressors in depth, such as altered gravity, radiation exposure, noise, etc. with cardiovascular outcomes to determine an overall combined spaceflight risk for long term future missions such as Artemis Lunar and Mars missions.
