You see that a lot in cases such as "children under 12 get in free," etc. That means they have to be 11 or younger.

good question


Explanation:
of course, this would be up to / under 50 years, which I believe is the same?
Maybe it is a typo and should be up to / over 50 years?

Sorry for not being more helpful..

  -> If they use both terms in the survey, I'm assuming there's a differentiation. Why, I don't know. It certainly wouldn't make much difference.
