English term or phrase: age is a relevant metric to use
age is a relevant metric to use. But you also have to look at income. And I think if we don't look at both, it's going to be problematic.

  -> Thank you, Gallagy.

neutral  Daryo: can't see why you need to introduce the idea of anything being or not "legitimate" when "relevant" is clear enough? "proper/legitimate" imply some "acceptable system of values" all I can see in the ST is a neutral "is there really a correlation or not?"
10 hrs
  -> Because the assertion is, in effect, an answer to the implicit question of whether it is or is not proper - or legitimate - to consider age in the matter in question.

metrics = measurements used to evaluate the achievement of some goals

Standards of measurement by which efficiency, performance, progress, or quality of a plan, process, or product can be assessed.

here "metrics" is possibly used to mean just "explanatory variables" - if there a strong enough correlation with whatever is the object of the study then metrics/variables are relevant.
