    Since there is no gravity there are fewer signs of aging. For instance, there will be less wrinkles on your face and less sunspots which are common on older people.

    Also since we measure our age in days (or ONE rotation around the earth's axle) the exact age of a person will be unknown.

    So if there were twins and one went to live in space and one stayed on earth and they reunited in 20 years, the one in space would look much younger.
