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岁莫扎特死于“少晒太阳”

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，科学家们发现，作曲家莫扎特35岁早早辞世，都怪晒太阳不够。

       莫扎特居住在奥地利，那里比欧洲大部分地区气候阴暗。而他总是“日落而作，日出而息”，这使得他体内严重缺乏维生素D。

       莫扎特生前饱受疾病之苦，曾患肾病、天花、伤寒、扁桃腺炎及咽喉炎。

       美国航空航天局退休科学家威廉·格兰特博士称，缺乏维生素D是他体弱及早逝的主因。
