I think you are expecting something so realistic to happen in Tokyo Ghoul. Eto was able to make ghouls stronger by prolonging/eating out Noro and giving Kanae a temporary power up.

What we don't know about this old One eye ghoul is that he was there 100 years ago. She didn't say he was dead, just that he was very powerful - enough for the creation of CCG. So there are many ways to keep up the bloodline or even cloning of the original one eye ghoul, provided that V or CCG defeated him. The reason I was very leery about Furuta's birthday because he is on Leap year and it's a special event. Whatever the connection he has with it right now is just a theory but Tokyo Ghoul is not a world with absolute real science. With strong regeneration, like some ghouls have but at lesser extend, anti-aging process can also happen.

Therefore, in the assumption that person is 100 years old, again please take this as a theory, when you ask how old he is, he can say he is around 25 years old. Counting by normal aging process, that person has lived 25 years. Things can be different if that person's body is abnormal and live enough for 100 years. But we may not understand what he means because sometimes, leap year babies are considered to grow up one more age every 4 years. For instance, a leap year person has lived for 20 years, but some of them only celebrate their birthday every four years, making them 5 years old. The body is 20 years old, but the age is only 5 according to birthday system.

It's a tricky situation so I wonder about that and why Ishida declared it for Furuta. His full name Nimura Furuta is also a play word of "Growing one more day old on 02/29". His birthday is an important part of his character. 2016 is also a leap year and he has been getting more spotlight ever since the new year.
