My intuition is that time is an independent (and arbitrary) quantity used to measure the change of a system
Gravity is an attractive forces between any two bodies which directly depends on the mass of the bodies and the distance between them which to put in plain terms means the closer they are the greater the attractive force which for us is experienced as friction
With that intuition we can conclude that your feet will experience a slightly higher gravitational force than your head however that value will be incredibly small relative to the size of the earth
Now since the cells in your feet experience a greater force exerted against them they will break down that much faster compared to the ones in your head assuming they are chemically identical
Thats not the sense of aging being used. If you take a clock and put it in orbit it will run faster than an identical clock on earths surface. This has been experimentally validated and is important for keeping gps calibrated.

Most perspectives in quantum mechanics regard time as a pattern as a result of laws being consistent across different spatial dimensions.
Which says nothing about taking time as a dimension. Time is just a standardized way to compare the rates things change at, but it can be regarded as its own dimension over which things change, and this can be incorporated into the equations that govern QM.
