There are several Markdown "forks" which have different sets of features.
AFAIK the markdown exporter in Org is based upon John Gruber's
Markdown, which does not include a syntax for tables. Thus all tables
in Org documents get exported as HTML.
A workaround is to wrap your Org tables as:
#+BEGIN_EXPORT md
| Name | Years |
| Edward | 44 |
| Sylvia | 45 |
#+END_EXPORT
On export to Markdown the tables will be kept unmodified as Org syntax.
It is important that you know which flavor of Markdown you're
targeting, because not all versions accept tables in Org syntax.
Pandoc's Markdown have a similar syntax for "pipe tables". However,
you may type all tables in any syntax accepted by your Markdown
version and keep them wrapped in #+BEGIN_EXPORT tags.
