I've noticed this kind of thing as well, but I'm really worried that we have cause and effect backwards.

The one who sat and did nothing did that because of poor health, rather than poor health because he sat.

Agreed, and it could have been poor mental health too, or alone, that made the difference.

Many many things are spirals of positive feedbr, not cause vs effect . Ask anyone who has yoyoed exercise habits or diets.
