Hmm, interesting link.

I hardly think notorious is the word. I've never heard of it before.

it does not make much sense too me how having a pathalogical conditon can make you age badly unless these types of people drink and smoke more?

I think it refers to their inability to accept ageing as nothing out of the ordinary. Narcissists are infatuated with themselves so seeing the object of their desires wither before their eyes must be distressing.
