This is basically the reason. Your risk of mortality is lower when you are younger so the denominator is small. Increased risk for the changing variable leads to a much bigger hazard ratio. When you get older your overall risk of mortality is much higher so the difference between the two is smaller, this a smaller hazard ratio.

Diabetes, Fasting Glucose Analysis, And How Likely Am I To Die Anyway?
So, that is the reason.....Is there anything like "difference in tolerance of body to high Blood Glucose level with increasing age", ..do young people have low tolerance to high blood glucose than the old people?.....that may also affect the hazard ratio....searched but could not found about it...

Younger people having a lower tolerance to higher glucose? It's a good question, would have to do a literature search to find if anything is available. We're that observed it may also contribute.
