Asgardian Maths

I have a possible Thor fic bunny, but I have a question about how Asgardians age. Probably not definitively answerable, but any opinions would be appreciated.
So, Loki states that Asgardians have about 5000 years of life. Cool beans. Except, do they age as the same rate as us? Because, and my math is terrible, so bear with, if say, we live on average 75 years for example, and they live on average 5000 years, that would mean for each 1 year we live they live 66ish. So, by that formula, are Asgardians then, say, mentally and physically two years old for 66 years? And mentally and physically 15 years old for 66 years? Do they wear diapers for 198 years? Or do they sort of age normally until they hit their twenties and then it super slows down?
Because that is a fuckton of diapers...
Incidentally, I also have this question about the elves in LOTR.
