All Mer live for about a few hundred years to my knowledge. I remember real old lore about Altmer being able to live thousands of years, but I think that got retconned (or never existed).

Wasn't the bit about Altmer living for thousand years due to them prolonging their life through magic? The DUnmer able were to do so as well, I mean, one of Morrowind's NPCs was alive during the war with the Dwemer and that was a good hundred years ago in-universe.
