Hi Joao, 

I just did a search in Vygotsky's collected works (English) and the keyword "aging" did not give any entry back. Of course, it depends what you mean by "aging". If with it you mean "being already grown up and then getting even older", then I am not sure you will find explicit discussions about this in Vygotsky other than arguments precisely to specify the special nature of child development as compared to adulthood. 

There is of course the chapter "The Problem of Age" (Collected works, vol. 5), which happens to have been very much discussed lately in relation to the lead article in the 2017 Issue 4 discussion on Neoformation by Roth, and its commentary by Kellogg. A good place to look at if you are interested in "aging" in Vygotsky. 

The chapter is transcribed and published in Marxists.org, here:
https://www.marxists.org/archive/vygotsky/works/1934/problem-age.htm

A discussion regarding how/whether to approach adulthood as involving some form of developmental stages has been had recently here in xmca. Actually, in November there is a thread called "adult development". You can find all discussions had in November here: 

https://mailman.ucsd.edu/pipermail/xmca-l/2017-November/thread.html  

Xmca also allows looking for keywords in the conversations and the archive goes back to 1995! You can search here:

So, I am not sure you can find a direct answer in these resources, but surely you'll come up with food for posing many other good questions.

Alfredo
