Does having cerebral palsy in different forms age you more quickly?

I was told recently that there may be a correlation between cerebral palsy and aging. You may be young, but you're body could be much older - that sort of thing. I heard it depends on what type you have? Is any of this true?

It can do especially if your CP puts a strain on your joints and muscle. However, its all about how you manage it through treatment either physio or orthopaedic intervention or both. CP is not a progressive condition in the respect of it does not shorten your life expectancy. I hope this helps.
