George Bernard Shaw was a vegan for 73 years until his death at
age 97.  Jiddhu Krishnamurti was a vegan and also lived into his
90s.  Both enjoyed good health.  I believe John Harvey Kellogg
was a vegan too, and was notoriously healthy (but fat) until his
death at 83.

It's not something that I would want to do, but I think some
people manage to live long healthy lives that way.
