I have just tested that any one, logged in or not, can click on my profile and see my age. Now I don't really care how old I am but I think this is a privacy issue.
No one's age should be displayed when anyone clicks on their profile.
Please consider that a privacy issue can only exist when the user is unaware that the information will be publicly available.
The content of your profile is what you agree to be visible to the other users. If are concerned with privacy and don't want your location, age, or any other info to be visible, then be careful and just don't enter them.
You can clear your birth date in your profile to remove your age from public view.
BTW, by default, e-mail addresses are hidden. You unchecked the box, so your address is available for everyone (including robots that collect addresses to send spam)
