I suspect that the constant stress on the body would have a similar effect... humans have evolved to the gravity on earth, and changing that can have bad effects.

My grandparent have labored their whole lives as farmers up to this day and they are mostly fine except for my grandmother who has arthritis. Although they may look more haggard and "worn out", due to constant exposure to the sun, they could be healthier than an office drone. Like others have said, we should be able to adjust to the increased gravity if it were introduced gradually.
