According to the FMA:B series, the homunculi aren't supposed to grow old.
Moreover, all of the homunculi other than Wrath (King Bradley) could
regenerate themselves. This even includes Greed, who's also a human-based
homunculus. We also see in the series that during Bradley's death, his body
degenerated. If he was able to grow normally then there shouldn't be such
things happening to his body.

How was Fuhrer King Bradley able to grow old?


King Bradley was part human and part homunculus.

He was born human and raised in a facility to train boys to rule. They were
injected with philospher stones and, in most cases, died. They could only
survive if one strong soul took control of the body. Only Bradley was able to
survive the process but it is unclear whether he truely did. A philosopher's
stone contains many human souls and not even Bradley knows if the one
controlling his body is the same one he started with.

As his body is mostly human, it ages.

It should be noted that the only other known human to survive this is Ling who
became Greed. It was clear in that case that both souls remained in Ling's
body.
