If a population has an average birthrate of 1.5 children but a small subset, say Amish or Hasidic Jews have a much, much higher birthrate, then in the long-run the population birthrate will likely be much higher than 1.5.
The Amish are a problem that's quite separate from curing aging. They likely wouldn't use it.
A population with a high birth rate grows exponentially even without curing aging.
