In the episode "Meld", Tuvok mentions he has been studying violence for over 100 years, but in another episode Janeway gives him a birthday cake and say it will not be long before he hits the "big 3 digits".
Since these statements seem contradictory, how old is Tuvok?
According to Voy: Flashback, Tuvok was 29 when he was assigned to the USS Excelsior...
TUVOK: It's a long story, Captain, but suffice it to say, this was my first Starfleet career. I was twenty nine years old.
... which places his birthdate somewhere around 2264 since we know (from the the show script) that the rescue attempt depicted in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country took place some two months after he was assigned.
Taking into account that the events of Fury took place in 2376, this would make him approximately 112 years old when Janeway celebrated his birthday (e.g not 100).
As far as I'm aware, there's no good explanation for this discontinuity other than that his records may be inaccurate (a distinct possibility given that Janeway is utterly unaware of his first Starfleet career) or that Janeway was simply mistaken (which seems unlikely).
There's also the slim possibility that with all the time travel they've been doing, Tuvok is actually 111 years of age, which would explain Janeway's "triple digits" comment.
The question "How old is Tuvok?" is flawed. It cannot be answered unless you specify the date for which you would like to calculate his age. A better question would be "When was Tuvok born?"
In Season 7, Episode 1, Tuvok
is in the process of being assimilated on a BORG ship. To delay his assimilation, Tuvok
recites certain facts about his own life. At one point, he says that he was born on stardate 38774, on the Vulcanis Lunar Colony.
If you do simple math from the year of Praxis' explosion (2293) and detract 29 (because at the time, Tuvok was 29 years old according to episode 'Flashback'), then according to this, Tuvok was born in 2264.
The episode in which Janeway gives Tuvok a birthday cake was called 'Fury'(Season 6, episode 23). Since Voyager was launched in 2371, 'Fury' would have taken place in 2376 given that the earlier episode Muse has a stardate of 53896 (and Unimatrix Zero is the last episode in this season which has a stardate 54014) - there are 2 episodes between Fury and Unimatrix Zero (not enough time to place Fury in 2377).
That would make Tuvok 112 years years old in episode 'Fury'... and 108 years old in episode 'Meld'.
So, in this instance, Janeway seems to be wrong... and Tuvok's statement that he's been studying violence for over 100 years is accurate.
Not sure why he never corrected Janeway... but it could have been simply for the purpose of continuing to keep her in the dark. After all, she implies in 'Fury' that it took 'exhausting research' to find out his age, and he wasn't exactly forthcoming with this data with everyone else (which is odd, considering that his SF record would have likely had this information).
In the episode "Flashback" (S3E2) Tuvok has a mind meld flashback with Janeway. When she asks him when this is, he says "about 80 years ago". A little while later in the flashback, Janeway asks him about his star trek career and Tuvok mentions that at the time of this flashback is is 29. Assumimg this is accurate, that means he is 109 years old by the second episode of season 3 of Voyager.
