Minimum age in signed request

Is there any documentation for user.age.min in the signed request? I would like to know which values user.age.min can have.

E.g. if I'm implementing age restriction due to alcohol content in Iceland, will I then know if the user is 20 years old or more? Will I know if a Canadian user is at least 19 years old? Will I know if a user in Qatar is at least 21 years old? And so forth...

Just testet it with one of my accounts with a user 20 years old - the signed_request gave me a min age of 18 - and with another user account, over 80 years old - the signed_request gave me 21. I think you will need to ask for the user_birthday permission if you want to have it more precise.

UPDATE: Facebook has updated its docs:

The following table shows the values returned depending on the user's age. Note: max will not be retured for any user who is 21 years or older.

Min   Max
13    17
18    20
21    max is not sent
