I suspect they’d need to do some power lifting to avoid accelerated osteoporosis in the lower gravity, as the bones do indeed require to be put under strain and shock to stay healthy.
Depends on how active you are and how low the gravity is. A lower gravity like on Mars would be probably be more helpful than harmful for elderly people.
However bad it is here I’m sure it would be much worse in space, considering astronauts have all their muscles atrophy even with a pretty intense workout regime.
Maybe… or would your body simply rot away faster since you aren’t using it as much? I would be inclined to think the latter.

Everybody will just move around on hover-recliners, like in Wall-E.
