Age over 90

Does Dr. McDougall keep a database of McDougaller's who have reached 90 plus and/or 100 plus eating the McDougall diet?
The McDougall diet is superior to any of the five Blue Zone diets. Especially the Mediterranean countries where olive oil is so dominant. If that is a fact, then McDougaller's should outlive the Blue Zones.
I go back a long way following a plant-based diet: Nathan Pritikin (1956), Adelle Davis (1970), Paavo Airola (1971),
John McDougall (1983), Dean Ornish (1993).
As a McDougaller, I'm probably in the top five in longevity at 95 years old and it looks like 100 is a strong possibility. The sadness of getting old is that my generation, growing up in New York City, are all dead, not one of them living to at least 90.
The other sadness is that the world population will never adopt a plant-based diet. Even in my extended family, not one person will give up on the Standard American Diet (SAD).
