One of the places with higher longevity has good record keeping and birth certificates: Loma Linda, California. What’s different about this city? A lot Seventh Day Adventists who adhere to vegetarianism live there… and live about 10 years longer than average.

There are a lot of other things different about the 7DAs besides vegetarianism that could be more causal.
