I dunno, but I think the statistical average lifespan for a
Klingon would be significantly shortened due to the belief that it is an
honor to die in battle and that trying to survive to live to a ripe old
age is a mark of great shame. For example, in the TNG episode where Riker
serves on a Klingon vessel, he meets a crewman who greatly ashamed that his
father surrendered to the Romulans and is now old and wasting away of
natural causes and did not die like a true warrior. I think the average
lifespan of a Klingon would be greatly impacted by their behaviour as
opposed to physiological longevity.
