Mithalwen, that was a good point you brought up, and I did find the quote you are talking about. We know Faramir and Denethor were of purer Numenorean blood, I mean Faramir did live to be 120. Denethor at 88 was very "hale" as he wore a full coat of mail and a sword still, so if he hadn't of gone mad probably could have lived much longer. A thing that I forgot to mention was most men of Gondor were far from a "purer blood" for in the beginning Gondor had a much larger population then that of Arnor.
