There are numerous benefits to not allowing colonists to grow old. The older a pawn is, the higher their chance to develop chronic ailments, and the lower theirFertility
and Immunity Gain Speed. Pawns closer in age have an easier time forming romances, and pawns between 18 and 25 and with partners similar in age to themselves are most likely to engage in lovin'. The transhumanist ideology
includes a need for age reversal after pawns reach age 25.
In general, keeping pawns under the age of 41 protects them from the majority of chronic ailments, although keeping them under 34 also protects from Alzheimer's. Carcinomas can be treated without needing to resort to Healer mech serum or bionic replacements.
Conversely, there are downsides to allowing pawns to become younger than 18 through the use of Chronophagy. Age 13 pawns have numerous statistics lower than a fully grown pawn, notably a Global Work Speed of .83, a move speed of 0.95x, and a higher risk of Overdose and Addiction from reduced body size. Pawns under 16 cannot have children of their own.
For most colonies, Chronophagy will transfer at minimum 4 years of age if the invoker has no psychic sensitivity adjustments and a psychic ritual spot with no void sculptures or shard beacons. At 100% ritual quality, Chronophagy will transfer 25 years of age
Chronophagy has a 5 day cooldown, allowing for 12 uses per in-game year, assuming that the colony can also provide a sufficient number of prisoners and produce the required 
20 bioferrite per ritual. If bioferrite is in surplus, then Skip Abductions can to provide easy access to prisoners. Not all prisoners will survive numerous Chronophagy rituals especially if they are still suffering from Dark Psychic Shock from skip abduction or already at an old age, but younger prisoners can easily be the target of 2 or more Chronophagy rituals before expiring. Most colonies should find it trivial to keep their members between the ages of 18 and 40, or between 18 and 25 if Transhumanist. A 30 member transhumanist colony can reasonably hit the 7 year range for their pawns by carefully timing rituals so that only 4-5 colonists will require a Chronophagy in any given year.
