[Lord of the Rings] Why did Gollom not die of old age after he lost the ring?

(For the sake of this argument, I am speaking more in terms of the movies as I know in the books much more time passes) But when Bilbo gives up the ring, he ages drastically in just a few months, but Gollom, who had already lived for a a few hundred years lost the ring for 60 years and seemd more of less the same.

The long-term exposure Gollum had to the ring seems to have deeply warped him in a biological sense; he doesn't respond the same as a Hobbit does to losing the Ring because *he isn't a Hobbit anymore*, but a species of one.

Alternately, his connection to the Ring may be deeper than Bilbo's, meaning that even with the Ring out of his grasp he is still bound to it and under it's influence.
