Ummm... hmmm.... in the book, according to the Tale of Years in the Appendices of Return of the King, Eomer is... about 27. Rather young, it seems. But then again, Rohirrim men were probably used to fighting from a very early age. They probably started at 15 or 16, and continued fighting/leading until they died.
