11Beverly Crusher is 40 in the first season– ValorumCommented Jul 15, 2018 at 11:54

15Not to contradict, but just to confirm: I'm assuming there are canon sources for most of the main cast's character ages somewhere. Have we confirmed they are indeed mostly under 40, or are we just guessing based on the apparent age of the actors? Maybe advances in medical technology / health-awareness culture have lead to people looking younger than they really are, in general, and Picard and Pulaski are simply the exceptions to that rule? (I'm not enough of a Trekkie to know the answer to this myself, which is why I'm asking if it has been confirmed or not)– Steve-OCommented Jul 15, 2018 at 12:45

1While this assertion is true for the main cast, in the show there are several unnamed background cast members who are equally as old as Picard. Scrolling through Memory Alpha might be a good idea– Hans OloCommented Jul 15, 2018 at 13:00

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
