Yes, age and metabolism plays a factor in decision making. someone over 50 would likley recive a much slower titration than someone under 50 and may have more physical health checks. Also people over 50 are more likley to be on medication which may interact with ADHD meds, so your prescriber will be curious. Thinking also to the psychological effects of starting ADHD, your prescriber will also explore the changes you are experiencing and adjustments you are making in a much more in depth way.
