  Not all  Middle-earth Big Folk, but only those of Numenorean 
descent have been granted a life-span "three times that of lesser 
Men" as a gift for their resistance to Morgoth in the First Age.  
This gift has been slowly dwindling since Numenor fell, but has 
been restored in Aragorn's case.

obviously still Tolkien obsessed and proud of it. Frodo lives!
