Age is a convenient barometer of what a person is capable of, but it is only one.
Age affects how people experience time.
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so.
We know in the field of aging that some people tend to senesce, or grow older, more rapidly than others, and some more slowly.
I think there are two aspects to ageing: there's the physical side and what's happening inside.
Perhaps genes did regulate the aging process. Perhaps different organisms had different life spans because a universal regulatory 'clock' was set to run at different speeds in different species.
