I ought to add the leaving Murray to my few regrets, as his age perhaps will prevent my seeing him again.

In his later years, his advanced age prevented him from taking any active part in public life.

Only your age prevents me from confining you to the brig, sir!

His age prevented him from running as a candidate in the 1935 provincial election.

But that age won't prevent you from racing either.

In 1978, he was freed to write what he wished, but by this time his age prevented an aggressive return to writing.

And yet other old men find themselves in similar misfortunes, and age does not prevent them from repining.

His age, however, prevented his being accepted; he was only thirteen.

His age and health problems (diabetes) prevented him from working full-time which also played a role.

I made an effort to freak out; probably only my age prevented me.
