As you get older, your muscle movement part of reaction time gets slower, but your initial reaction time, the brain acknowledging the visual and deciding what to do is the same as younger individuals.  I know because I asked this question.

I think that your reaction time is best when you are younger and when your in your 20's, and that it starts to slow down when you get older but if you stay alert and exercise regularly you'll have a better reaction time.That's just what I think.
