Hi, colleagues
I work as a private teacher tutoring kids, teenagers and also adults. Among my adult pupils, there is a doctor that yesterday came up with a question. She has to compose reports in English and have them sent abroad for research, about patients with certain characteristics. She asked me why she had to write, for example, "(name), age 33 - followed by specific details" and not "At the age of 33, (name) etc.". I told her that both are correct, however I wasn't that sure. Are there probably certain expressions that should be used when related to medical reports? Does anybody know? TIA.
