Commuting has long been known to be detrimental to health. Exercise may have ticked up since walking became much more common. People were “locked down” at least in the US for like a bad winter season. Maybe diet was a problem (too much sourdough carbs) But if it’s not COVID, I would look at isolation. Perhaps the young deaths were especially isolated, and we have all suffered from the epidemic of loneliness over the last half decade.
