It is well known that gigantism can cause various issues with a person's skeletal system and circulatory sysetm, because of the sheer size of the person, so the chance of living a long healthy life is slim. You must also consider the fact that if the person is too tall, they may not be able to walk confortably or without assistance, so it's hard to get exersice which will lead to a shorter life-span. You can make your own prediction using this information on how long the average person with gigantism lives, my guess is nothing over 60-70 years of ae.
