(Reuters Health) – People who eat more plant-based protein may live longer than those who get more protein from meat, a Japanese study suggests.

Researchers followed almost 71,000 middle-aged Japanese adults for an average of almost two decades. Compared to people who consumed the smallest amount of plant protein, participants who consumed the largest amount were 13% less likely to die during the study and 16% less likely to die of cardiovascular causes.
