TL;DR
A positive correlation was found between the length of life of 288 Turkish hamsters and the amount of time spent in hibernation, suggesting that the process of aging is slowed during hibernation.

Using radiotelemetry for body-temperature sensing in field animals, torpor season in the Richardson's ground squirrel was found to commence from mid-July in adults and mid-September in juveniles and to terminate for both groups in mid-March.
Journal of MammalogySurvival and Longevity of the Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus) in Southeastern Ontario

Survival and longevity in a hibernating population of Myotis lucifugus were studied for 35 years with mark-recapture techniques; two males were recaptured 29 and 30 years after being banded and showed no outward signs of senescence.

One day following radioiron injection, the concentration of the isotope in erythrocytes of control hamsters was 14.1 times the concentration in hibernators' ery Throcytes during the 2nd day of hiber...

A review of longevity records and population survival rates suggests that bats as a whole have long life spans, and warm climate forms do not appear to have a shorter maximum life span.

The data provide strong evidence supporting the frequently published suggestion that the Syrian hamster may be remarkable among mammals in that males tend to outlive females.

The ageing of the collagen fibres from the tails of the hibernating animals measured by the chemical contraction and relaxation was slowed down to a great extent or stopped altogether, depending on the depth of hibernation.
