Does an imprisonment spell stop aging?

The difference between Volo and Elminster is that Elminster is the one who is actually "super old", being alive since the 1st century of the Forgotten Realms, being a Chosen of Mystra has stopped him from aging.

And yes, an Imprisonment spell stops aging, that's how Volo was able to appear in 5th Edition Forgotten Realms D&D.
