Not everyone was locked down, many still had to go to work, many excersised at home more or ate healthier, and many still had social lives. You can account for those other factors by making sure to include participants who didn't have those other factors.

The only thing that would have helped is if Europeans didn't have a mass colonization effort for several centuries after contact so that the populations could recover from the plethora of European diseases.
