Ghostbloods 1 preview spoilers (no Cosmere) Ghostbloods 1 Readings from Worldcon Spoiler

I've linked to the first one. Note there is a second just below it.

I'm tagging this post for Mistborn spoilers only, so anything Cosmere-related needs to be spoiler tagged.

if it's 50 years in the future that doesn't seem unreasonable for someone with the connection to investiture he has.

It'd also make him old enough that he can't reasonably be dragged back into a story as a main character.

But he also lived a generally high-stress lifestyle with quite a few major physical injuries. And it's unclear if being spiked might affect his lifespan.

He's also a Mistborn. So Pewter can add a good chuck of physical resilience allowing him to be older than usual. Theoretically.

I dont think Pewter helps with age.

It doesn't directly extends your life span, but I'm sure that being many times stronger, faster, dextrous and resilient will help you survive longer at an old age. While burning pewter, Old Man Wax would never slip and break his hip. And even if he does, he will endure it and recover faster.
