They will age. Interesting question. Coma means loss of consciousness, and that occurs when some process interrupts or damages the system that keeps us “awake,” the reticular activating system. Seriously though, people in a coma actually age faster because of shoddy nutrition and lack of movement. But people in a coma will not age like people not in a coma. For example, coma due to traumatic brain injury tends to have a better prognosis than coma due to cardiac arrest. I was in a medically induced coma for two weeks at the age of 17. No. Unfortunately, most don't live long enough to grow much at all. Hope this answered your question. The coma will enable the person to jump the time-space continuum and they will magically be younger than they were when they went into a coma. A coma does not stop the aging process. While you cannot 'wake up' a person in a coma, some coma patients can respond to some stimuli. On the other hand, stress would be low. The cells in the body will continue to age; he might develop cavities in his teeth, etc. Without regular use, their muscles will atrophy. Once a person has no brain waves, that person is said to be 'brain dead'. If a person is in a coma, the body will continue to age for as long as he remains in a coma. As you’ve seen, this can vary depending on the cause and severity of the unconscious state. You do physically; your body is still kicking. I suppose that a child would continue to grow bigger and taller and mature in a coma, following the body’s normal programming. Younger patients tend to do better than older ones. What I remember: I woke up in a hospital by the beach. I remember being rushed to the emergency room, getting a CAT scan, then being placed in ICU. But the heart still beats, the lungs still breathe, etc. What I remember next and what actually happened next are two completely different things. You wouldn't age mentally though because you're unconscious, you don't know what's going on around you. That's why when people who have been in comas for years wake up, the still act like they did when they went into the coma… For example, some patient's EEGs show a reaction when a loud noise is made near the ear. The part of their brain that was damages initially (to trigger the coma) might deteriorate as a result of inflammation or "maintenance" responses to the area. Other patients in coma show absolutely no reaction to any stimuli.
