a model that takes into account the changing factor of a subject's age (as opposed to cohort models)
Age vs. cohort models: In this chapter, we consider models which account for two common sources of differences among
individuals: one that changes over the course of an individuals life (age), and one that does not
(cohort). In both cases, we anticipate that differences in the age or cohort of an individual may
influence its survival or encounter probability. For example, we might have strong reason to suspect
that the survival of a young individual may generally be lower than the survival of an older
individual.

I understand it to mean that they suggest grouping by age, rather than by cohort.
