How to interpret your result
Calendar-day age does not infer the time of birth or elapsed hours across time zones.
Choose whether an interval includes the start or end boundary. Month and year additions use explicitly stated clamping rules when a destination day does not exist. Date-only arithmetic is kept independent of local daylight-saving hour shifts.
