Well, look at workplace accident rates, injury rates, lead poisoning in the house & at the pump (before petrol was de-leaded), smoking normalized across the board, cities filled with smog (pre-EPA).
If you want numbers, there was a 3x decrease in mortality from heart/cardiovascular disease, 5x decrease in mortality from cerebrovascular disease (1960s were actually one of the most unhealthy decades to be alive in):
Sedentary behavior, obesity and diabetes are more signals of stress rather than our current environment - look at the top 10% by income - those risk factors are nowhere to be found in that subgroup.
