find #of years from date

Hi,

how to figure out age from years? for example.

read -p "welcome to LinuxQuestions.org.. Please enter your date of birth:" 19850409

echo "you are 22 years and 3 months old!"

i use YYYMMDD formate.

I use 'date -d ....' not sure..

I separated year, month and day so no worries about it.Only thing i can't figured it out is person age from date year

Thanks
