In writing, you'd say that the person in question was either a thirteen-year-old or thirteen years old. It's a subtle difference, but in naming an age, one does use the hypens, as in writing about a three-year-old.

Thaliax is correct. He is either thirteen years old, or he is a thirteen-year-old boy.

You either say thirteen-year-old (see this link for example of 100-year-old). :- http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11964284/
or you say :- The person is 13 years old - see link below for example
