about a usage of 'year-old'

Avdyli, a square-jawed 44-year-old who looks something like an Albanian Chuck Connors , said he was as confident Kosovo would be free as he was about the return of the Serbs.

A question has occured reading this sentence. I think there must be some kind of noun such as 'man' 'guy' or 'woman' after 'year-old'.

Can '-year-old' be used as a noun itself?
