'Elves' is bit vague, considering lifespans vary from race to race. Orcs, for example, have a much shorter lifespan than, say, the Altmer. Generally, though, their lifespans can reach a potential of over a thousand years, but few ever reach their maximum potential due to war, disease etc much like humans (particularly in the past). Magic can also help to augment one's lifespan, in the cases of figures like Divayth Fyr.
