How would living with a lower gravity affect health negatively?

Specifically if you never go back to regular gravity. Ex: you go to live on another planet with say 3/4 Earth’s gravity and never return to Earth.

Your neuromuscular system is calibrated for gravity on earth so till it calibrates you would likely be more accident prone than on earth. Some type of calibration take place during critical phases of development and recalibration may not always be possible.

If the gravity is greater than earth your can expect extra wear / tear on your body. Falling even walking in high gravity may be both difficult and dangerous and we may need some way to support our bodies (whales on earth would likely struggle outside water due to gravity vs in water buoyancy supports them).
