I just got back to the part (reread) where elder hammon and Loials mom and betrothed meet rand. I just love the way they interact, mannerisms, and humor lol.

Not to mention loial legit has to be one of the best characters ever. Dude should be bound to the wheel via the horn for all the stuff he does in the series. The scribe of the horn.

All channelers have extended lives. They simply slow and everything takes longer to age.

How long do you think the women are trapped in peri and menopause or does it get hand waved away like morning sickness?

It could be feasibly half a century for some of the strongest if the pacing works out. No wonder the Seanchan Aes Sedai absolutely lost it.
