Why is Aging worse in Traveller than in 2300 AD?

What got me thinking along these lines was how it's done in Pendragon. That has the ability to add to characteristics as a training option, but Size can't increase that way after Age 21 and other stats can't normally increase once ageing starts (usually 35. Although Pendragon doesn't have mental stats either - just personality ones and skills).
