Dutch children are unusually happy and healthy. Is it because of the Avondvierdaagse?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A few weeks ago we joined a yearly walk of a little more than 30km around a city (Ronse, Belgium), which has been done there for almost a thousand years and my family for at least 30.
I was saying this exact thing, people here must be more healthy on average right? Doing that distance yearly, preparing, but also giving motivation for other walks must have an impact region wide!
