So adventurers could encounter an infliction of LPT in any setting, whereas age-based attacks are much more limited.

I think that part of it is that an Affliction of Low Pain Threshold pretty much can only vary by source, whereas "Age-Based attacks" can vary by that and by sfx. LPT is a simple condition, while an age-based attack might make you younger, older, or other such variations.
A side concern is that an age-based attack might (depending on how it is made) actually debilitate the target in some way, while LPT is only a facilitator towards that end.
