Actually, Arwen's becoming human is not due to the waning of the Elves. It is due to the fact that she is the daughter of Elrond Half-Elven, and she may choose to follow the mortal portion of her heritage if she likes.

As for the waning of the Elves, I have never read anywhere that it affects their lifespans. That is simply their nature. The waning of their power over the earth is a different matter. The earth itself is changing, and they have no place in the new earth. It was the power of the Elven rings which aided them in keeping back the encroaching change, and once that was lost, Middle-earth lost its charms for the Elves, particularly for a Calaquendi like Galadriel!
