Spending more time in the sun improves health
The BBC has this:
Spending more time in the sun could help older people cut their risk of heart disease and diabetes say experts.
Sun exposure helps the skin make vitamin D - a vitamin older people are generally deficient in due to their lifestyles and ageing processes.
A team at Warwick University has shown a deficiency increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, which is linked to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. . . . . . .

It could also be that being out in the sun means that a person is getting more exercise than if they were at there Fabric Covered Box or on the couch. No matter how you cut it though, I'd rather be outside.
