The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

mortality and vegetarians and comparable non-vegetarians in the united kingdom and again what we find here united kingdom-based vegetarians and comparable non-vegetarians have similar all-cause mortality in this epidemiology study
suggesting that much of this benefit may be attributed to non-dietary lifestyle factors such as a low prevalence of smoking and a generally high socioeconomic status or to aspects of the diet other than the avoidance of meat and fish
though across the whole population in Britain vegetarians had a lower death rate than non-vegetarians if the non-vegetarians with healthy behaviors were compared to vegetarians there was no difference in death rate which is to say that vegetarians had no better longevity than meat eaters with healthy habits
there were 243,017 years 46.7% men that was the mean age 62.3 years and they say that there was no significant difference in mortality risk between Pesco vegetarians or semiarians versus regular meaters we found no evidence that following a vegetarian diet semi vegetarian diet or Pesco vegetarian diet has an independent protective effect on all cause mortality
United Kingdom based vegetarians and nonvegetarians those eating meat omnivores have similar all cause mortality okay that's just one example of a study that often gets left out of the conversation
British vegetarians have a low mortality compared to the general population their death rates are similar to those of comparable nonvegetarians meaning in terms of health behaviors suggesting that much of this benefit may be attributed to non-diary Lifestyle factors such as a low prevalence of smoking and a generally High socioeconomic status or to aspects of the diet other than the avoidance of Meat and Fish
