It is explicitly stated by Tolkien that the longevity of Men once granted to the Nmenreans decreased over the years. In Letter #156 Tolkien writes that "a good Nmenrean died of free will when he felt it be the time to do so". The decreasing lifespan Tolkien mentions can be seen clearly in the graph. The leaders in the graph are shown in order. The last bar represents Aragorn and you may notice that it is noticeably higher than many of his close ancestors.
