If you want to store the users age as an integer you should change your query:

$sql="INSERT INTO ee (Age) VALUES ('Age')";

to 

$Age = (int)$_POST['Age'];

$sql="INSERT INTO ee (Age) VALUES ($Age)";

*note the string cast, you should always filter those values to prevent against sql-injection

The error message itself:

Mysql is telling you that it can't store the string "Age" in an integeter field. You want to store the contents of the variable $Age

you're inserting word "Age", not variable $age
you also ought to sanitize this variable.

$age = intval($_POST['age']);
echo $age;

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","vvvrks"); 
mysql_select_db("abc", $con);

$sql = "INSERT INTO ee (Age) VALUES ('$age')";
mysql_query($sql,$con) or trigger_error(mysql_error()." ".$sql);
echo "1 record added";
