I'm curious as to if retiring on a planet with lower gravity, such as mars, could have an effect on longevity. Assuming radiation is not a factor in what ever facility you live in, would the reduced strain from lower gravity allow your aging organs to function longer? Especially the ...

I'm with you! Less stress on the body should surely mean a longer life!

I assumed this much and although i didn't mention it i was also making the assumption that this would be a one way trip, no return to earth. But i was mainly curious if the lower gravity, given exercise and other healthy efforts, would be a net benefit on health ...

Lower gravity would only initially relieve stress on the heart. Unfortunately, the human body is the ultimate smarty-pants and, as the body adapts to lower gravity [thinner bones, a possibility of increased mass because muscles convert to fat when they don't exercise so much, etc] then the strain would likely ...
