No they are saying that since aging is the degradation of cells, being recreated by a transporter consistently would result in constant new cells that weren’t degrading like the old ones.
The flaw here is that the transporter recreates people in the same state they were in when they were destroyed to be tp’d, ensuring the cause for original degradation remains present and thus gaining continues

Unless, of course, the plot demands different. Notably in these episodes:
Unnatural Selection: Dr. Pulaski ages rapidly and they use the transporter to repair her DNA and revert her to her normal age
The Most Toys: O’Brien deactivates a weapon that Data fires just as he is being transported
Realm of Fear: Barclay discovers a whole missing crew within the transporter beam somehow
And of course the bio filters that explain why nobody gets any unexpected diseases when they visit planets.
Would childhood biological processes restart, if the cells were reset?
Even if not, I feel like there would be complications if that was done to the brain, like sudden personality changes after your first teleport in a long time.
I’m not entirely sure how memories are stored in the brain but I feel like if all the neurons in a pathway were reset, it’s affect the memory.
