The cellular cycle does not cease, otherwise the person would be physically dead, so the body would continue to age. In fact, muscle tissue may deteriorate at a faster rate during a coma due to inactivity, and extensive physical rehabilitation would be necessary to regain strength during a period of a 3-year long coma.
