我检查了之前展示的例子，它们并不是在所有情况下都有效，因此我自己写了一个脚本。我测试过了，效果很好。

function getAge(birth) {
   var today = new Date();
   var curr_date = today.getDate();
   var curr_month = today.getMonth() + 1;
   var curr_year = today.getFullYear();

   var pieces = birth.split('/');
   var birth_date = pieces[0];
   var birth_month = pieces[1];
   var birth_year = pieces[2];

   if (curr_month == birth_month && curr_date >= birth_date) return parseInt(curr_year-birth_year);
   if (curr_month == birth_month && curr_date < birth_date) return parseInt(curr_year-birth_year-1);
   if (curr_month > birth_month) return parseInt(curr_year-birth_year);
   if (curr_month < birth_month) return parseInt(curr_year-birth_year-1);
}

var age = getAge('18/01/2011');
alert(age);

如果年龄只是为了显示(可能不是100%准确)，下面的答案是一个很好的方法，但至少它更容易让你理解

function age(birthdate){
  return Math.floor((new Date().getTime() - new Date(birthdate).getTime()) / 3.154e+10)
}

短而准确(但不是超级可读):

let age = (bdate, now = new Date(), then = new Date(bdate)) => now.getFullYear() - then.getFullYear() - (now < new Date(now.getFullYear(), then.getMonth(), then.getDate()));

我有一个漂亮的答案，虽然它不是我的代码。不幸的是，我忘记了原来的帖子。

function calculateAge(y, m, d) {
    var _birth = parseInt("" + y + affixZero(m) + affixZero(d));
    var  today = new Date();
    var _today = parseInt("" + today.getFullYear() + affixZero(today.getMonth() + 1) + affixZero(today.getDate()));
    return parseInt((_today - _birth) / 10000);
}
function affixZero(int) {
    if (int < 10) int = "0" + int;
    return "" + int;
}
var age = calculateAge(1980, 4, 22);
alert(age);

从日期选择器计算年龄

         $('#ContentPlaceHolder1_dob').on('changeDate', function (ev) {
            $(this).datepicker('hide');

            //alert($(this).val());
            var date = formatDate($(this).val()); // ('2010/01/18') to ("1990/4/16"))
            var age = getAge(date);

            $("#ContentPlaceHolder1_age").val(age);
        });


    function formatDate(input) {
        var datePart = input.match(/\d+/g),
        year = datePart[0], // get only two digits
        month = datePart[1], day = datePart[2];
        return day + '/' + month + '/' + year;
    }

    // alert(formatDate('2010/01/18'));


    function getAge(dateString) {
        var today = new Date();
        var birthDate = new Date(dateString);
        var age = today.getFullYear() - birthDate.getFullYear();
        var m = today.getMonth() - birthDate.getMonth();
        if (m < 0 || (m === 0 && today.getDate() < birthDate.getDate())) {
            age--;
        }
        return age;
    }

试试这个。

function getAge(dateString) {
    var today = new Date();
    var birthDate = new Date(dateString);
    var age = today.getFullYear() - birthDate.getFullYear();
    var m = today.getMonth() - birthDate.getMonth();
    if (m < 0 || (m === 0 && today.getDate() < birthDate.getDate())) {
        age--;
    }
    return age;
}

我相信你的代码中唯一看起来粗糙的是substr部分。
