Possibly: 24 yo female asks if lifelong in-home reclusiveness absent exercise can invoke "illness & death". Deficits of sunlight-induced vitamin D have been noted in persons who suffer chronic pain. Soft tissue deconditioning from sedentariness appears to be a causal co-factor for fibromyalgia & cardiovascular disorders. Inactivity can beget obesity with consequences for tumors, diabetes, and heart disease.
