I don't know whether vegetarians live longer or not, but I have read that a veg. diet helps to minimize a lot of the debilitating diseases of old age that westerners suffer (cancers, heart disease, diabetes, et c). So many people live a long time with pain and suffering, in and out of the hospital, taking tons of medication. Eating lower on the food chain can help us live healthier during however much time we have.
