1. #7 has an answer
Hutchinson-Gilford disease


A very rare disease of premature aging in young children, characterized mainly by a birdlike, "wizened old man" facial appearance, premature bodily ageing (progeria) and dwarfism. The children have large skull, bird-like features, atrophy of muscles and skin, loss of subcutaneous fat, high serum lipid levels and early atherosclerotic changes in the vessels. The child is normal at birth. Intelligence is usually normal. The average age of death is 16 years, but survival until 26 years has been recorded. Occur in children of both sexes. Death is usually caused by the effects of arteriosclerosis. Etiology and mode of genetic transmission (if any) is unknown.

4. They get senile faster
and probably don't know

true!

smarter people get senile slower, or it appears that way because they have more to start with... they also more often are aware of the change.
