    I don't think it's 'illegal' to ask the age, but it's perfectly reasonable for you to say you wish not to disclose it.

    If you wanted to skirt around it you could say you're in your "20s/30s/40s" to be vague about it.

    I don't think it's illegal to ask why someone is out sick either. In a similar vain to the above, it can be asked but cannot be pursued in any other discourse. Doctor's certificates are only required for 2+ days off work (as far as I'm aware)

    [...the above is UK specific, and not 100% sure of]
