Being born into such an environment would probably not make a difference. I can see it having a definite effect on growth since as a species, we evolved on earth so things like bone and muscle development would be affected, and not in a good way, in a lesser (or greater) gravitational field. Then there is the magnetic field that shields earth from particles borne on the solar wind which is lacking on both the moon and Mars so the cancer rate would be scary.
