People with ages from 18 to 25

Hi.

My friend asked me the following question and now I ask you for help.
Here is the question.

Does "people aged from 18 to 25" mean "people with ages from 18 to 25"?

To me, it really does.

people aged from 18 to 25 = people who are aged from 18 to 25 = people with ages from 18 to 25 = people with ages ranging from 18 to 25 = people whose ages are from 18 to 25

However, I consulted the phrase "people with ages from" in Google Books Ngram Viewer and there is no hit.

Thanks.

Thank you.
Just to be sure, does it perfectly grammatical?

How about these?

People aged ** to **
People ** to **
"people aged * to *" seems very common. However, I am wondering about "people * to *". It seems awkward to me.
Is it standard?

All of the above are considered non-standard English. To express this idea, the normal collocation is, " people between the age of X - Y ...."

Yes, of course—that's why I gave it to you.
