No it doesn't.

According to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 and Federal Reserve Board's Regulation B, you are prohibited from discrimination in any aspect of a credit transaction on the basis of:

-Race
-Color
-Religion
-National Origin
-Sex
-Marital Status
-Age (assuming your able to enter into a legally binding contact ~ Age 18 in TX)
-Receipt of Public Assistance

Good luck with your application !

To obtain a reverse loan mortgage you must be over 62 years old.  Lenders can discriminate based on your age.

Lenders can discriminate based on your age.  So you should be good unless you are trying to get a reverse loan and that is 62 years old

Are you concerned about youth or the grey years? 

I think you have to be 18+ to qualify

No, unless you are trying to get a reverse mortgage. That product does have an age limit to apply. You need to be 62 yrs or older.
