Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.

Absolutely no idea what you mean,

Try reconstructing your question in concise English with reproducible code.

I think you want something like this:

cat(sprintf("The mean age of patients within the sample is %.1f.\n", 
mean(age)))

Play with the %.1f format for more decimal places, etc.

I think you want something like this:

cat(sprintf("The mean age of patients within the sample is %.1f.\n",
mean(age)))

or maybe

    cat(sprintf("The mean age of patients within the sample is %.1f.\n",
round(mean(age), 1)))
Play with the %.1f format for more decimal places, etc.
... and be aware of excel bugs.
