Study finds vegetarians over 80 less likely to reach 100
Source: ScienceDaily Fitness
Key takeaway
Avoiding meat might slightly lower the odds of reaching 100 — but only for frail, underweight seniors. In very old age, staying strong and maintaining muscle matters more than long-term disease prevention. Older adults who included fish, eggs, or dairy were just as likely to become centenarians as meat eaters, suggesting that key nutrients may make the difference. The takeaway: nutrition needs change dramatically with age.
