All Elves can live 1000 years. Combine that with magic abilities and you have a Mer who could quite possibly live for thousands of years. However, who says an Elf will live that long? Tamriel is a very dangerous place lol. The same can be said of humans. Humans have life spans of 80-100 and maybe more with magic, but how many old people compared to younger people did we see in Skyrim? Oblivion?

I actually wrote a detailed post on Mer life spans before, I'll see if I can find it.
