You need to determine how the integer value in "created" in calculated and massage either it and/or "now()" into the same format so that you can compare and manipulate them. There is likely no simple CAST expression you can use but instead have to perform math operations on the values. Since created does appear to be a timestamp field if you have any control I'd recommend changing it to be one and modify whatever program inputs that value so that it uses actual dates instead of what appear to be second or milliseconds since some epoch time.
