Regardless of where you are (with the exception of being placed in a cryo chamber) your body will continue to age at the same rate. If you will...we measure age by the rate that our bodies mature and break down....probably the most obvious form of progressing entropy in the universe. THE COOL THING IS THOUGH!!! If you were to be travelling at the speed of light! then time would slow down around you...and everything else in the universe would keep going at the same rate. Imagine you're driving in a car...and your friend is driving by you at the same speed. Then you decide to slow down...from your car it would appear as though your friend, who was driving at the same speed, is now speeding up. It's the same concept with time. The closer you get to the speed of light...the more it seems that the universe around you is speeding up! So that by the time you come back to the same speed more time has passed than it would have if you had just stayed on earth cruising at normal speeds.

Both mass and energy affect the rate at which time passes. A gravity well caused by a large amount of mass causes time to pass more quickly. In other words, if you are out in space, that is far away from the center of the earth's gravity well, the rate at which time passes will be slower for you than for someone on the earth. Since the earth is a relatively small amount of matter [compared to a star], you would have to go very far away to notice a substantial difference.
There is a set of twins who are both astronauts for NASA. They joke since one has had more time in space than the other, that he [the one who was out there longer] is all of a few hundred microsends younger than his sibling.
However, time not being a constant is, like many other things, relative to the observer. If you were to go out into space for a week and return, by your time keeping you would be a week older. If you did not synchronize your time keeping device with that of something on the ground, when you returned, an observer on the ground by looking at their time piece would say you had been gone slightly longer than a week. This implies you were both measuring trip duration in small enough intervals such as thousandths of seconds. You would say you had been gone for a week's worth of seconds while the observer's clock on the ground would say you returned late--but only by fractions of seconds. A noticeable difference would be seen if the space station's clocks were not constantly being synchronized with mission control's clocks. If they did not update them for say a month, the two clocks would be off by a few whole seconds.

And yes for anyone who wants to shout at the screen when they read this, I did not mention on purpose the effect that motion also has on time dilation.

yes our age will chnage if we are in space.
if we go far away in space (now it's impossible), we can spend most of our lives in space and then when will return home we will found out that we are younger than the people who stayed here at planet earth.
Time has a different meaning at space.

i dont think so, the earths rotation and our age is a totally different subject, if somehow the time passes by faster then it might make us older but if the rotation is faster there is nothing that changes upon our age.

I don't think that Age will matter if you are there. If i go there i will make sure that i never go back to earth.
