Thank you @ree-gupta ! I wonder if we better propose this as a PR against current bids version, just keep surgery_date for the BEP032 but propose age_category and age_type .

It also would complement

• Clarify that age Units could be overriden + that type is number OR "89+" string #1791
  which I am yet to finish.

Then it would give it a better chance for discussion etc.

Also I guess they should be added as recommended to
https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/blob/master/src/schema/rules/tabular_data/modality_agnostic.yaml#L2

Done! Also, birthdate is another column suggested by the BEP032.

For humans, but not other species, right? Or is this common across a broad spectrum of species?

I am not sure. For now, I removed these changes from here as suggested by Yarik and moved them to #1839 where it reflects the bep032 doc in its current state.
