Scientists discovered composer Mozart, who died at just 35, did not get enough sunlight, the Daily Mail reports.

He lived in Austria, which was darker than most of Europe, and would work through the night and sleep during the day. This prevented his body from producing sufficient levels of vitamin D.

Mozart suffered illness throughout his life, including kidney disease, smallpox, typhoid fever, tonsillitis and strep throat.

Retired NASA scientist Dr William Grant, believes that vitamin D deficiency was the underlying cause of his poor health and early death.

35歲莫扎特死于“少曬太陽”

???????據英國《每日郵報》報道，科學家們發現，作曲家莫扎特35歲早早辭世，都怪曬太陽不夠。

???????莫扎特居住在奧地利，那里比歐洲大部分地區氣候陰暗。而他總是“日落而作，日出而息”，這使得他體內嚴重缺乏維生素D。

???????莫扎特生前飽受疾病之苦，曾患腎病、天花、傷寒、扁桃腺炎及咽喉炎。

???????美國航空航天局退休科學家威廉·格蘭特博士稱，缺乏維生素D是他體弱及早逝的主因。
