# lowerBound

The minimum age in the person’s declared age range.

```
var lowerBound: Int?
```

## Discussion

When this value is `nil`, the person’s age range is below your lowest specified age, indicating
they are under your minimum age requirement. When the value is present, it represents the lowest
age that the person meets or exceeds.

For example, if you specify `ageGates` of `13`, `16`, and `18`, and receive a `lowerBound` of `16`,
the person is at least `16` years old, but may or may not be `18` or older.
