Although the exact rate at which clones aged is unknown, it appears to be nearly twice as fast a natural-born Human and it is theorized that this rate increased as clones grew older—especially under stress, thus leading to a dramatic shortening of the clones' life expectancy.
If the average life expectancy of humans in the galaxy far, far away is similar to our own, it's about 70 years for men, meaning that clone life expectancy can be halved to just 35 years.
That would be Kix. Due to his being frozen in stasis by the Separatists, he survived for 50 years after the end of the Clone Wars before being awakened by a pirate gang several years before the events of the sequel trilogy.

Researches found that many netizens have the stereotype that "animals being cloned generally have a shorter life span". Is the life span of cloned animals shorter than normal? A short answer is, the life span of cloned animals is normal.
During the later part of the Clone Wars, the Phase I sets were mainly replaced by Phase II armor. However, some clones chose to keep either some, or all of the elements of their Phase I armor, at least until Order 66, such as CC-01/425, and the ARC troopers who killed Master Sev.

The majority of losses are due to embryonic death, a failure during the implantation process, or the development of a defective placenta.
The Clones, in the war years, were mentally aged between 10 and 13. It was only their physical growth that was accelerated.

Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a female Finnish Dorset sheep and the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell. She was cloned by associates of the Roslin Institute in Scotland, using the process of nuclear transfer from a cell taken from a mammary gland.
