All the guidance on DIN settings hovers around age as well. Hitting "50" the
DIN settings seem to reduce by 1. I appreciate that bones in older people
can become brittle, or is it an indication that older people should slow
down!

Yes, and Yes. Or more accurately that most people become somewhat less
gung-ho and more controlled as they get older and wiser. The
overriding rule should always be that bindings should be set as low as
is possible, to avoid injury, while still ensuring they'll stay on for
any level of abuse which the skier would be able to recover from. If
you don't _need_ your bindings set high, don't set them high.
