I read through this thread and there seemed to me to be a variable missing from the study. You are querying the average age of the online poker universe, when in fact the question I heard many people asking was, what is the mean/median/mode age of the players they would be facing in a poker hand. In order to answer that question you have to know more than the age distribution of those who have accounts (whether on CC or at FTP or PS etc). You need to consider how often the player plays. I would estimate based on anecdotal evidence that a 21 year old player plays more hands than someone in their 30s given likelihood of other time commitments. To further break this down, you might want to focus on the level of stakes and whether you want to answer the question for MTTs vs SNGs vs cash tables.
I find the questions fascinating to consider, but in my line of work a large part of the job is defining the exact question being explored. It does not seem that focusing solely on average registered age gets at the underlying question, at least for most members on this thread.
