Twenty four years "and upwards" (General)

I have an ancestor who was married by license in Littledean in 1806. The marriage license gives his age as "twenty four years and upwards", with the "and upwards" pre-printed on the form. Was there any particular meaning to expressing the age in this way, or can I just assume that he was twenty four plus a few months i.e. not yet twenty five?
