我会选择可读性:

function _calculateAge(birthday) { // birthday is a date
    var ageDifMs = Date.now() - birthday.getTime();
    var ageDate = new Date(ageDifMs); // miliseconds from epoch
    return Math.abs(ageDate.getUTCFullYear() - 1970);
}

免责声明:这也有精度问题，所以这也不能完全信任。它可以关闭几个小时，几年，或在夏令时(取决于时区)。

相反，如果精度非常重要，我建议使用一个库。还有@Naveens的帖子，可能是最准确的，因为它不依赖于一天中的时间。

如果你需要以月为单位的年龄(天是近似值):

birthDay=28;
birthMonth=7;
birthYear=1974;

var  today = new Date();
currentDay=today.getUTCDate();
currentMonth=today.getUTCMonth() + 1;
currentYear=today.getFullYear();

//calculate the age in months:
Age = (currentYear-birthYear)*12 + (currentMonth-birthMonth) + (currentDay-birthDay)/30;

还有另一个解决方案:

/**
 * Calculate age by birth date.
 *
 * @param int birthYear Year as YYYY.
 * @param int birthMonth Month as number from 1 to 12.
 * @param int birthDay Day as number from 1 to 31.
 * @return int
 */
function getAge(birthYear, birthMonth, birthDay) {
  var today = new Date();
  var birthDate = new Date(birthYear, birthMonth-1, birthDay);
  var age = today.getFullYear() - birthDate.getFullYear();
  var m = today.getMonth() - birthDate.getMonth();
  if (m < 0 || (m === 0 && today.getDate() < birthDate.getDate())) {
    age--;
  }
  return age;
}

这是我的解决方案，只需要传入一个可解析的日期:

function getAge(birth) {
  ageMS = Date.parse(Date()) - Date.parse(birth);
  age = new Date();
  age.setTime(ageMS);
  ageYear = age.getFullYear() - 1970;

  return ageYear;

  // ageMonth = age.getMonth(); // Accurate calculation of the month part of the age
  // ageDay = age.getDate();    // Approximate calculation of the day part of the age
}

我知道这是一个非常古老的线程，但我想把这个实现放在我写的寻找年龄，我相信这是更准确的。

var getAge = function(year,month,date){
    var today = new Date();
    var dob = new Date();
    dob.setFullYear(year);
    dob.setMonth(month-1);
    dob.setDate(date);
    var timeDiff = today.valueOf() - dob.valueOf();
    var milliInDay = 24*60*60*1000;
    var noOfDays = timeDiff / milliInDay;
    var daysInYear = 365.242;
    return  ( noOfDays / daysInYear ) ;
}

当然，你可以调整它以适应其他获取参数的格式。希望这有助于人们寻找更好的解决方案。

以下是计算年龄的简单方法:

//dob date dd/mm/yy 
var d = 01/01/1990


//today
//date today string format 
var today = new Date(); // i.e wed 04 may 2016 15:12:09 GMT
//todays year
var todayYear = today.getFullYear();
// today month
var todayMonth = today.getMonth();
//today date
var todayDate = today.getDate();

//dob
//dob parsed as date format   
var dob = new Date(d);
// dob year
var dobYear = dob.getFullYear();
// dob month
var dobMonth = dob.getMonth();
//dob date
var dobDate = dob.getDate();

var yearsDiff = todayYear - dobYear ;
var age;

if ( todayMonth < dobMonth ) 
 { 
  age = yearsDiff - 1; 
 }
else if ( todayMonth > dobMonth ) 
 {
  age = yearsDiff ; 
 }

else //if today month = dob month
 { if ( todayDate < dobDate ) 
  {
   age = yearsDiff - 1;
  }
    else 
    {
     age = yearsDiff;
    }
 }
