It has never been explicitly stated that benders live longer than normal people, but, from watching Korra, it's pretty apparent that they do. Spirit Iroh said that it had been 40 years since he'd seen Tenzen's family. That means he lived for 60 years after TLA, and he was already an old man in that show.

The reason why is rather sad. The physical trauma of being frozen in ice for a century while he was in the Avatar State simply drained his life force and shortened the rest of his lifespan. Biologically he was only 66 when he died, and only 12 years old when he met Katara and Sokka for the first time.
