The column says "Confirmantens Alder efter Dag og Datum, udviist ved Døbe Attest", i.e. "age by day and date, as shown by baptism certificate". So it will depend on the information in the certificates. I guess these certificates in most cases included the date of baptism only, and hence the dates shown here are probably baptism dates.
