A very large study conducted by Loma Linda University looking at a variety of dietary choices by tens of thousands of study participants dating back to 1958 has found that those who kept a vegetarian diet tended to live longer than those who ate meat. The study also found that vegans, or those who eschew dairy and eggs in addition to meat, had lower rates of cancer.
Vegetarian diets not only lengthend lifespans according to the study, but also reduced:
a person's risk for diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes, control body mass index and waist size, and boost brain health.
