Yeah. Plain wrong. Arima's aging WAS due to his species (basically, failed attempts at OEGs). Kaneki's aging happens whenever he receives damage and recovers. The basis of that is given when Kanou is torturing and "enhancing" Takizawa. He says that physical damage or trauma create new RC pathways and improvements, but also results in a shortened lifespan (at least according to the translation I read). Considering he's been through the most gruesome battles, and torture, its kinda predictable his body would take its toll. Takizawa is probably biologically older, too, since he's been through quite some physical trauma.
