Yes ruling houses do tend to live longer, because in reality they get better conditions, food etc, while the "lesser people," you know peasants and the like are in a relatively lower living condition... but thats getting sidetracked a bit :P
What about the Hobbits... Many of them do seem to live past the hundred mark... the more renowned The Great Took, Bilbo, Lobelia and husband(?). LOL I can just see it... the midget ancestors of the Numenoreans... that might explain their toughness in resisting the ring as well... its the Numenorean purity :P
