Was the Feruchemical ability to store age changed?

[AirsickAviar he/him]

In the last empire we get a reference to the feruchemical ability to store age, and that's how the LR lived forever... By having the ability to burn the metal from his allomancy. But earlier trying to track the metal in question I didn't see it in the list?

Iron: Weight

Tin: Senses

Steel: Speed

Pewter: Strength

Zinc: Mental Speed (underutilized fyi)

Copper: Memories

Brass: Stores Warmth (I forgot about this, also underutilized!)

Bronze: Wakefulness

Cadmium: Breath

Gold: Health

Bendalloy: Energy (some implications of food storage in this way are interesting from a wealth saving perspective)

Electrum: Determination (needs more defined)

Chromium: Fortune

Aluminum: Identity

Nicrosil: Investiture

Duralumin: Connection

Where's the one for age?

Was it removed for more practical ones like warmth storage by powers when the shards were being changed and Sazed remaking Scadrial?

Because I was thinking the ferring who could store age could indeed find a very good purpose of it: if they store it everyday from their teenage years to become the age of a healthy active 45 year old (or whatever you think the limit of prime living years is that you can accept, heck even a 30 y/o prime year athlete or whatever the number pro sports commentators say, done from the start), will give those years living acceptably, and then you start burning. So you would live potentially up to 70, 75 years of age? And living in the constant still useful years of 45 that entire time, being so used to what your body can or can't do by that point?

That was what people during the Final Empire knew as  Atium (a.k.a. Era 1 Atium - which is not quite "true Atium"). This thread (and many others) has it explained, but the short answer is that the Era 2 metals lists account for the fact that Atium is no longer prevalent. Atium would still store age, but Atium is no longer generally available.

It is Atium. You didn't include God Metals on the list so you missed it. 

We will also likely get a lot of the neat ones in Era 3, Brandon talked a lot about how he has a lot of interesting twinborn combos planned for Era 3. The ones he did in Era 2 were purposely on the more tame side.
