im probably wrong but wasnt it actually said in canon that rustbloods live 24 sweeps?? which is like 50 or so years?
I think part of it is cause of poor living conditions and the rate at which they’re murdered. I assume if they were alllowed good health they’d live longer?
consider: most trolls have a base lifespan of 100 or so earth years, but due to the lack of resources provided by their shitty government (and mass propoganda on highblood/tyrian regime’s part), it’s highly unlikely to see most lowbloods even live to adulthood
thoguh in beforus the lower castes still had much shorter lifespans than the higher ones which is why the highbloods had the duty of teaching and guiding the lowbloods
