This isn't an anecdote: By age 65, the average person takes at least one medication. By age 75, the average person takes at least 3 medications, and 5 or more is not uncommon.
This information came from a USF Health lecture.
I'm a vegan, age 74, who needs no medication, according to my doctor. All my tests have been within normal range.
If you can eat meat and be healthy, good for you! But Seventh-day Adventists, who are vegetarians, live 10 years longer on average than the rest of the U.S. population. And that's not an anecdote!
