Yes. There are two aspects which determine how rapidly a battery loses capacity:
1. The number of charge cycles it's gone through.
2. The age of the battery.
The two are independent, but cumulative. As far as #2 goes, the "clock starts ticking" the first time that the battery is charged after manufacture, and it can't be stopped.
