If you have a good reason for asking, it's probably not rude. "Old" person? over 80 is old to me and those folks are usually proud that they've made it that far and don't mind answering. Between 25 and 80 folks can get sensitive about it. That's probably because they don't like to think of themselves as "getting older", just "getting wiser". Don't go there unless you know the person well or have a very good reason for asking. most people say it is rude to ask someone older than you of their age, but i think otherwise. it wouldn't be rude at all if you asked him/her with respect...
