It seems like it would be true.

Edit - Yep. Per this study:

"Perceived age, which is widely used by clinicians as a general indication of a patient's health, is a robust biomarker of ageing that predicts survival among those aged over 70."

“If a patient looks older than their years then perhaps they should be more concerned," he said.

Good to know I’ll die by the time in 30.

    The body breakdown that we usually attribute to aging is not caused by time passing itself, it is caused by a whole host of other factors that usually get worse over time. If you are constantly stressed, don't exercise, are eating like shit and are regularly smoking/drinking your body will breakdown at a much faster rate.

    Some people are running marathons in their 70s while others start experiencing chronic aches/pain in their 30s and say "oh I guess this is what happens when you get older, nothing I can do about it".

      I've met 90 year olds who I would have sworn were in their 60s, and I've met 60 year olds who look like they're 90.
