I agree with the other answers. Age really doesn't matter. What matters for a PM to be successful is the required competencies and experience..

Only if age reflects experience, otherwise it might send a contradicting message.

Age doesn't matter. The really matter is to be a leader before being a project manager, get the trust of your team, lead them, encourage them and get the best for the success of your project.

It depends on the functional area of Project Manager, yes, human body too have limitations but if you have a good team with you then your experience and skills shall vary more than age. But still age is an important factor.
