How do you hyphenate 35-65 year olds?
You hyphenate "35-65 year olds" as "35-65-year-olds." The hyphens connect the numbers to indicate a range and link "year" and "old" to form a compound adjective describing the age group. Always use hyphens in this context to maintain clarity.

How do you spell up to date?
It should be "up-to-date". You will see it in many instances written "up to date" without the hyphens, where each word becomes a separate and different part of speech, which may be confusing. (Hyphens are grossly and woefully under-used in adjectives.)
Is there a hyphen between a thirty year old civil war?
Yes, there should be hyphens in "thirty-year-old" when used as a compound adjective before a noun. The correct phrasing would be "a thirty-year-old civil war." The hyphens help clarify that "thirty-year-old" is a single descriptor for the civil war.
