Confused about the comparison? If the life expectancy of a Man is about 70 to 80 yrs. Then an Elf equivalent to 70 yrs old would only be ... 5000-ish years.

I don't think that age comparisons can really be made like that. Especially when they marry as early as 50 yrs. Besides, Elves are meant to live as long as Arda endures... much longer than 5000 years.
