From the point of view of someone on Earth, people on the moon would indeed grow older faster. But the difference is extremely small.
Let's imagine a different scenario:
Person A stays on earth
Person B spends 1 year in an area with very strong gravity (e.g. close to a black hole)
Person B returns to earth after that 1 year. (Let's ignore the fact that traveling through space also alters the flow of time.)
Person B has aged 1 year.
Person A has aged 5 years.
Thanks. You seem like a teacher. Are you?

Haha thanks for the compliment! I am actually a student in computer science.

Then you're a very good student. I'm also a student but I now study Geology. That's why I'm reading many such articles.
