Honestly this cannot be answered with one number, you can die from CF by age 1 or 16 or 18 or 29. It's all dependent on the overall health of the person, CF will take your life. When is dependent on how you care for yourself and how compliant you are with your care. You can live pass 60. The average age is 36.7, but overall it depends on the person.
