Cabin altitude Vs Age

Hello....

is there any limit for the age while flying at high cabin altitude ?

On the A320 while flying at max cruising level FL390 the cabin altitude will be at 8000 feet. will this have any effect on the old timers on the long term.

is there any rule of the thumb regarding this issue....a friend told me that there is one rule of thumb and it says (100-age=max cab.alt)

i.e 100-(age 30) = 70 ...so 7000 is the max cabin altitude for the age of 30...and do on...

should we also consider it's effect on the old pax (say +60) and if any very sick pax on a stretcher ?

thanks
