Technically, Yes. Ranma falls into the spring of 
the drowned girl not drowned female. So one get guess or just use 
that is cursed form will always be 16 years old. The question is 
will his true form continue
aging because if his curse? 

There is not a shred of evidence to support the claim that any >effects 
of the curse changes anything other than the form, regardless >of what 
Lawson thinks. It's also the easiest explanation for the >curse, so, in 
the absence of any evidence, the most true explanation.

The theory that the cursed form will stay 16 forever is debunked in 
the manga, in specific the Mushroom of Years arc; Ranma's and >Ryouga's 
cursed and uncursed forms suffered the same age-altering >effects of the 
mushrooms.

Whether it be the properties of the curse, the power of the ki 
techniques, a question of speed, strength, endurance, etc, the good 
fanfic writer should go no further than what is directly represented 
in the manga, and, when there is no material to go by, the writer >then 
must strive to conform as closely as possible to the 'spirit' of >the 
manga -- that is, he must take what is in the material in the >SIMPLEST, 
MOST OBVIOUS LIGHT POSSIBLE, and make a new continuity, >which must not 
only not disagree with canon, but must exist as the >simplest, most 
obvious and logical extension of the same.

Jeez!  We're supposed to be having fun here, lighten up.

IMNSHO  If the springs did not have any effect on age, Lukkosai would 
not have suffered any effect at all when being exposed to the spring of 
drowned boy water.  This can be taken either way by any fanfic author.
