Do Saiyan-Human hybrids age like Saiyans?

[Legendary Saiya-Jin]

Do you think they maintain their youth up until a certain point and then start aging rapidly like Saiyans would, or do you think they expire like humans or some sort of mix?

[Kaboom]

If ol' great grandma Pan from GT is any indication, I suspect things may combine in some way to give Saiyan-Human hybrids an extra long lifespan. So maybe they remain in their prime for far longer like Saiyans do, but then gradually age at the same slow pace a human would.

I think they would age like humans. What's the point in aging like Saiyans if they don't have the Saiyan warrior instinct and taste for fighting?

I've always wondered how much of that was true considering Gohan going Ape and all. I've thought of Great Ape as sort of the Saiyan's primal, simplistic state, so maybe that could indicate that the Half-Saiyans, or at least Gohan, did have a instinct for fighting but was raised differently. I mean, look at Gine.

I think they would age kinda like Goku and Vegeta, however they wouldn't last as long in their prime due to their human heritage.

I like to think that pure Saiyans stay roughly in their 20s physically till they hit that certain age later on in life, where they start the deterioration process.

For the hybrids, it depends on their genes I guess. Maybe a specific combination, like Gohan's, allows the kid to age normally like a human until they reach their 20s, and then they stay that way until they reach whatever that special age is that starts the deterioration process for them? Probably earlier than a pure Saiyan, but maybe they have that slightly longer Saiyan lifespan too.

Then for Trunks and Goten, who had growth patterns that were closer to a pure Saiyan for their childhood, they could just have a delayed aging type thing going on. Stay looking like you're ~10 till your 20s, stay looking like your 20s till your 30s, etc. They can also have the benefits of the slightly longer lifespan.

Goten and Trunks definitely seem to age like Saiyans (if them still looking like runts even a few years after Buu in the recent specials/movies, then suddenly being teenage/young-adult size 10 years after Buu, is any indication), while Gohan seems to have a more normal human-like aging process.

I guess it varies depending on which individual Saiyan you're talking about, just like how some half-Saiyans get Saiyan-like hair (Gohan and especially Goten) while others get human-like hair (Pan, and especially Trunks and Bra) and some (Goten, Trunks, maybe Pan and Bra?) are apparently born without tails.

I could never accepted half-saiyans to be born without tail, when Gohan was born with it. Especially for Goten it gave me a hard time to believe that the was lack of tail when is just like Goku in appearance.

For the topic....
If I remember well, then I guess I've made up a similar topic eralier, and my opinion is that Goten and Trunks are more saiyanish than Gohan in some aspects. Maybe the reason is that they were conceived when their fahters were a lot more stronger than in the time of Gohan's conception.

[RandomGuy96]

How old was Trunks in the future special, again? 14? He seemed to be growing like a normal human.

I don't think we have any information that could be used for answering this question, so it's anyone's guess, really.
I know you're asking for an opinion, so I'll just go with the hybrids' aging process and lifespan being in-between that of Humans and Saiyans.

I'm pretty sure Gohan is just a tall person in general. Buu Saga Gohan is consistently depicted as taller than Goku.

That's because Goku isn't tall. Their official heights are 175 cm and 176 cm respectively. In other words, dead average. Though I guess they may be considered tallish in Japan, where the average male is like 5'7. It's actually kind of weird that Gohan isn't at least a little taller considering his 6'4 uncle and seven foot plus grandpa.
