Frodo was meant to be in his 50s...

Sauron the White has just left Hobbiton.
If the period of early thirties are equally to much younger humans, what would the hobbit equivelant of the Fifties be?

I think not a man in his late 70's, especially one with health problems.

The Ring stopped him from aging:

As time went on, people began to notice that Frodo also showed signs of good 'preservation': outwardly he retained the appearance of a robust and energetic hobbit just out of his tweens. 'Some folk have all the luck,' they said; but it was not until Frodo approached the usually more sober age of fifty that they began to think it queer.



So Frodo looked just out of his teenage years - this is pretty much the age of Elijah over the course of the filming (19-23).
