There is no way that formula applies to all bananas. It might work for one variety grown in one place, with a certain watering and fert regime, during one season, but you cannot apply it generally to any banana grown anywhere under any conditions.
Why does the age matter to you? If you want to know when to expect a bloom, the total number of leaves produced is a better predictor across conditions. Of course, that varies from variety to variety.
