how to do trend test?

say I have a categorical variable X with 3 levels coded as 1,2,3

and then I have a table of age, sex and etc, by X, which looks like the following:

               x-level1      x-level2      x-level3            p-trend
age             56                54             57                   ?
female%       67%             65%           66%                ?


my question is how to test if there is a statistically significant trend across x-levels for age and for sex?
any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
