Bart:

	You are thinking of them as a separate species; not unlike the various 
"human years/dog years" calculations. What we have is a situation where 
the medical care is far better than Muggle medical care; I suspect that 
if Muggles got the same level of care, they would live just as long (and 
that Squibs apparently do live just as long, as do M-born wizards). 
Therefore, maturity takes the same rate, but aging would be much slower.
