The Dunmer aren't really known for living longer than other elven races in particular. Maybe the Telvanni mages but that's because they use magic to sustain themselves. The Altmer, as a race, however, were said to have been taught by Phynaster how to add another century to their lifespans and therefore tend to naturally live longer than other elves.
