Human races tend to have human lifespans. Elves can live to be many hundreds of years old. Possibly the same for Orcs, as they are Mer. Khajiit and Argonian, nobody knows.
That varies from about 40-50 with the Orsimer and Nord, and up to hundreds of years with the Altmer.
A very large factor also is social status and knowledge of magic.
Someone of nobility could afford the best healers and alchemists when ill.
There is some evidence that practicing magic extends the lifespan, and of course the Telvanni used necromancy to extend their lives thousands of years. The oldest living person I know of is the Dunmer Divayth Fyr, with over 4000 years under his belt. A normal Dunmer peasant may expect 100-150 years.
Yeah, I remember from Morrowind a few of the Dark elf mages claimed to be a thousand years old. Wes hoping for an average numerical number. Thanks for the reply.
