In Portugal as well, the verb used with age is "ter": "Eu tenho _ anos".
In Portuguese (ter), Spanish (tener), Italian (avere) and French (avoir), we can't translate "I am [age]" directly from English.
Oh, the perils of word for word translation!

Hey! Actually in portuguese we use "Eu tenho 52 anos", here in Brazil we dont say " I'm 52" It's more like "I have 52"
