Insurance companies already ask for a subset of this. My health and life insurance asked about smoking (multiple times), and life insurance specifically requires you to get a health exam done at a doctor if you are trying to opt into a high tier of coverage. My life insurance also asked me if I am doing any "extreme sports/activities", with their listed top examples of it being motorcycle riding and skydiving.
None ever asked about obesity or inactivity. I am all for obesity being treated like smoking, but inactivity is a bit of a tough one to filter or screen for.
