More or less, with the caveat of it depends on the chart. We all know this, right?
Night chart, Saturn-Antares on the ascendant. Not fun. I've had a lot of bone problems, spinal stenosis, sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, since I was pretty young. As well as the other nastiness that Saturn tends to bring.
But Mars has also actively tried to kill me on several occasions. It's in an overcoming square to the moon (moon in 6 on Algol), and with moon exalted, it throws everything back to Mars to deal with. Life-threatening infections resulting in losing body parts - a couple of times, when Mars was highly active. And Mars has thrown its usual **** at me.
Saturn is misery, Mars is strife. If you look at it that way, and you're our age or thereabouts, you can probably tell which one is the worst.
OTOH, I know a couple of people younger with Saturn in Cap (one has it rx) who haven't done especially well with Saturn either, one with a day chart. I tend to believe Picatrix when he says that Saturn can be even more vicious if it's retrograde in domicile. Seen that in more than a few charts, sadly.
