We have reanalyzed the age of the universe problem under the assumption that the lower limit on the age of the globular clusters is ˜11 Gyr, as predicted by the recent Hipparcos data. We find that the globular cluster and the expansion ages in a standard l=0 universe are consistent only if the present value H0 of the Hubble constant is ≤ 60 kms-1Mpc-1. If H0>60 kms-1Mpc-1 some kind of modification of the standard l=0 model is required. Invoking a (time-independent) cosmological term l in the Einstein field equations, as has been done frequently before, we have found that due to the gravitational lensing restrictions a flat universe with the present matter density parameter WM<0.5 is not problem-free. A nonflat universe with WM≤ 1 does not suffer from the age problem if H0≤ 75 kms-1Mpc-1.
