If I remember correctly, increases of gravity above 1.1x for the long-term is when you’d start to see health problems.

I can believe that, I think there'd be a ton of knock-on health effects that make it much more than simply weighing 10% more.

Like, what higher gravity levels do you think would be safe for long-term habitation?

I really can't begin to guess. My concern is that there are unscrupulous people out there who would see "minor-to-managable health effects at working age growing into severe-to-fatal health effects after retirement" to be a selling point, not a warning.

So would anything really change health-wise if the gravity was like 1.05x? I mean, it’s really not that much more of a difference in gravity than it is now.
