It can (and has) been done at all ages, lots of North Korean kids for example were on CR for most of their lives.  The ones that survived didn't do so well.  One reason is possible impact on brain development which normally continues until around age 25:

Also the muscle mass you develop in your late teen years is basically what you'll have for the rest of your life.  And then there's the whole fertility thing...
