Thanks for the reply, Bob. I finally got my Yuku account squared away so I can ask questions here as well as the SJGames forums. Yay.
I've been doing research for the IST Post-Y2K setting I'm putting together as a 4e love letter to IST and the aging thing came to mind in a kind of rambling, punch drunk early-am web-scrounge through any IST related posts I could find on the internet.
There was much talk about a post-Y2K retcon in the IST world and the idea of pushing the timeline forward to make all the iconic characters ageless (ala DC and Marvel) didn't make me happy. So when I ran across the supers aging slower idea, I sort of latched onto it as a solution. I had used a similar idea in my own home brew supers setting years ago, with all mutants having a level of Extended Lifespan, Rapid Healing and Fit (it kind of made up for the whole Social Stigma: Mutant thing).
Anyway, long story short, question answered, thank you muchly.
