No we don't. There is no bonafide evidence of this.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28040519/

"Following extensive adjustment for potential confounding factors there was no significant difference in all-cause mortality for vegetarians versus non-vegetarians [HR=1.16 (95% CI 0.93-1.45)]. There was also no significant difference in mortality risk between pesco-vegetarians [HR=0.79 (95% CI 0.59-1.06)] or semi-vegetarians [HR=1.12 (95% CI 0.96-1.31)] versus regular meat eaters. We found no evidence that following a vegetarian diet, semi-vegetarian diet or a pesco-vegetarian diet has an independent protective effect on all-cause mortality. "

"United Kingdom–based vegetarians and comparable nonvegetarians have similar all-cause mortality."

I could provide many other studies as well.

You could then likely counter with many studies that suggest the opposite, which would mean that there is no conclusive, consistent evidence.

This seems to only be referring to vegetarians. Are they lumping in vegans with vegetarians, or are vegans just not a part of the data?

I see you are getting downvoted, but you're not wrong. It appears those studies do not differentiate between vegans and vegetarians so you have a point.
