Dear teachers!!

According to Murray, both his mind and body react faster than those of other people his age because of the time he spends on games.

Do you need "his age" in the above sentence? If you need them, what does it mean?

Thank you in advance.

Yes you do; otherwise the meaning would change. "his age" means 'as old as he is'.
