I don't think the actual number of years has been mentioned. However, we do know that elves who were already adults in the Age of Magic are still alive and well well into the Age of Rebirth, indicating that they live for
at least a millennium. It is said that the Dwarves of first generation (such as Bambur) were immortal (probably in the sense that they didn't age, but could be killed, much like the form of immortality that Ceridwen gave to Kyorlin), but each generation had a significantly shorter lifespan than the previous. I tend to think that in the Age of Rebirth that the average human and dwarven lifespan is the same. (I tend to prefer to think that the dwarven creation myth is just a myth, as it would mean that the dwarves don't have souls/divine sparks like humans, elves, aifons, and orks do.)
Humans similarly lived a lot longer in earlier generations. Nemed, the former god of life and father of mankind (and all races derived from man) is a true immortal, incapable of dying so long as the world remains. When his wife Gabella, who is similarly immoral, refused him the gods created a mortal wife, who presumably was little more than an intelligent humanoid animal with no soul. Their children inherited her mortality of body and his immortality of spirit. The first generation was much longer lived, but we don't know how much. I tend to think that they lived as long or longer than elves ever did, so probably at least a thousand years. I tend to think that human lifespans decreased a bit more gradually than the dwarves did, although it has been decreasing far longer. I tend to think that living to be 200 years old wasn't that odd in the Age of Magic, but that the Age of Ice was harsh and cut down on lifespans significantly. In the Age of Rebirth I'd expect a lifespan similar to that in the Middle Ages of Renaissance in the real world, with some exceptions. The Bannor skipped the Age of Ice, instead spending it without physical form in hell, so when they emerged back into creation they were "genetically superior" and lived 2 or 3 times longer than then men of any other nation (if they didn't fall in battle). However, they soon intermixed with lesser men so by about four hundred years later there would be in no way longer lived than other men. Only the highest nobility in the Bannor Empire can actually trace their descent from those who escaped hell anyway.
The Orks in FfH are descended from humans (and maybe a few elves, dwarves, and even aifons) instead of from elves like in Tolkien's work (although Tolkien later tried retconning his orks to be of human descent to make them). In both cases I don't think the lifespan was really changed by their corruption. However, Orks are very violent and tend to kill each other a lot, so it would be rare for an Ork to make it to old age. I tend to think orks of the highest caste (priestesses and shamen, who still speak in the noble old orkish/pre-fall-Bannor tounge) may still live almost as long as men before the Age of Ice, which would mean they still live longer than humans.
Lizardmen, Centaurs, Lamiae, etc, were all created by evil life manes in the age of magic by combining humans with wild animals. (The human part means they do posses souls/divine sparks.) I tend to think that they live about as long as normal humans do, or at most as long as normal humans did back in the Age of Magic, although the humans mages may not have known what they were doing as well as the gods did so they may have deteriorated more and have shorter lives now.
Its hard to say how long the Aifons live, since they don't anymore.
Similarly, it would be hard to say how long the undead or golems "live" before they wear out.
Angels and Demons (including both those created as such and those who were formerly human) are immortal. When they die in the physical world they return to their god's vault to rest and recover strength enough to return, if allowed back. Basium doesn't actually kill demons, he traps them until Judgment Day.

) And thought Tolkien's Orcs were elves, but maybe he tried to retcon them.
