As now described, your problem is clearly interval censored time-to-event, 
and your logistic model is just not the right approach - bone maturity is 
an irreversible state (consider what happens to your age regression 
coefficient if you add in more ages before or after maturity).  Either do 
the survival analysis, which gives you the median age at maturity, or fit 
a (nonlinear) growth model to maturity score.
