ASTRO NOTES: ON LONGEVITY
According to C.G. Rajan's Tamil translation of Parashara Hora. Ch. V, note that longevity cannot be decided till the native is 24.
But Jyotishharnava Navaneetam (a Sanskrit work with Telugu translation) suggests that. up to l2 nothing definite can be said about longevity
Phala Deepika (Ch. 13, sloka 3) and Jataka Parijata (Ch. 5, slokas 1 and 2) which have similar verses also say that up to 12, longevity cannot be decided. This is because, the child is covered by its mother's fate in the first four years, by its father's fate in the next four years and by its Purva Karma thereafter up to 12 as per Mantreswara. Only after 12, will the child be governed by the effects of the grahas in its own horoscope as far as its longevity is concerned.
Also, see slokas 4-6, Ch. X of Sarvartha Chintamani.
