The Expanse (both the books and the movies) features some pretty good exploration of both the direct effects and the resulting social effects. In that universe, people who have lived in the Asteroid belt for ~3 generations can't visit earth without significant medical intervention, but their anatomy begins changing (e.g. in the younger generation some people become significantly taller). An Earther might have a significant advantage on Earth, but on Mars or in the Asteroid Belt they are stronger but less adapted in other ways.
