In purely mathematical terms, if one considers the parts of the year in such a way as to round to the closest birthday and use that as a reference then yes.
But in common use it is not done to refer to a person by his or hers closes birthday but instead the last one passed is always used. Therefore I would probably answer that I am 33 years old, if someone asks me. And this would not be considered wrong until the twentysecond of may this year.

Return with us now...
...to the thrilling days of yesteryear when KevinsWatch discussions were hosted on EZ Board.* (Hi-ho Silver! Away!)
One of our number was a fellow who went by the screen name Bullgod: born a Taurus in the year of the Ox. We shared the same birthday: May 8.

May 14, 1977... and I'll probably be out at sea on my birthday, but I'll tell you guys about that later.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
