There is no specific age for gout. Usually its mid 30's to 40's, but anyone can get if they eat foods that raise uric acid levels. I'm 24 and I had a gout attack.

It can also hapen as a result of kidney problems.

Normally, uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either produces too much uric acid or your kidneys excrete too little uric acid. If your body is working correctly then eating foods high in purines will not lead to gout.
