The massive the Star is, the faster it will consume it's hydrogen.
Explanation:
The massive the Star is, the faster it will consume it's hydrogen and convert it into helium.But it also becomes dense enough to burn the product of hydrogen and also helium into other heavier elements like Iron. Our Sun being a Normal sized Star will consume it's hydrogen slowly in 10 Billion years and after that it will burn Helium for a few hundred million years below collapsing as it won't be dense enough to produce other heavier elements.
