What is the minimum and maximum gravity level that nearly all humans can sustain over a 5 year period?

There are several questions related to effects of different gravity levels on the human body, but none adequately answer a fundamental question: What is the maximum and minimum gravity that nearly all humans can survive under and perform all functions without side effects?

This answer says that many humans would receive significant harm in a 1.5G environment over a six month period and this answer claims that 1.5G would not harm healthy humans over a seven day period. A third answer claims that Earth's gravity is the only gravity level that humans can tolerate over a long term period, yet I would imagine that 0.99G or 1.01G would not be much different than 1G; I can't find an answer citing the gravity levels that all humans can tolerate without any side effects over a long term period.

To satisfy the requirements, the following terms must be met:

• At least 95% of humans would not have any severe long-term effects that they would not experience on Earth caused by the different gravity level over a period of 5 years
• All humans can survive in the different gravity level over a period of 5 years
• Tasks essential for living in a society should not be interrupted by the different gravity
• All other environmental factors are the same

This does not require that machines operate correctly in the different gravity level, only humans.
