From uvby and Hβ photometry, individual stellar ages for A type stars have been derived using three different evolutionary models. In this paper we evaluate the corrections for metallicity and rotation to be applied to the physical parameters of Am and their influence on the determined ages. A test based on the Hyades open cluster is also presented.
