I wonder if this is another proxy for Vitamin D? People who exercised regularly likely also spent more time outdoors?
“I wonder if this is another proxy for Vitamin D? People who exercised regularly likely also spent more time outdoors?”
I don’t think so. Many people exercise indoors (gyms), and those who exercise outside don’t necessarily do it at the right time of day on a sunny day, with sufficient skin exposed to stimulate adequate production of Vitamin D.
