  Survival Time Analysis

  Problem is, censoring times won't be independent of observation times. People like the active hiker will be at increased risk of dropping out of the study.
  Age will be an interesting covariate in this, though -- presumably, older participants will have less trouble completing the study. Can't make 10-year-olds lie in bed for 60 days, because that would be considered child abuse.

  Have to say, that would not be a study I'd want to partake in. I am highly doubtful that I would be able to go the complete 60 days without going crazy.

  There is a very good chance that you will acquire a disability before you die. So, you may have to spend 60 days, 600 days, or 6,000 days as such, at some random date in the future.

  I believe you simply say "sloth" rather than slothfulness
