Interesting point. In the context of this post it is 2 (though you shouldn't have chosen a derogative).
I don't think someone would name 1 when asked about the biological (or colloquial) meaning of aging. And 3 would seldom be cited alone but probably more often as compensation aspect of 2.
"Decreptitude" is descriptive, not derogative. Decrepit: wasted and weakened by or as if by the infirmities of old age (Merriam-Webster Online).
That's decrepitude. Your use with "t" implied a derogative with "creep". But it seems to have been a typo. Sorry for misinterpreting this.
