thanks!
disagree Andrew Bramhall : So convoluted no native English speaker would say this.Also, the original doesn't state there is an increase in the frequency,hence over-translation.

Alters*häufung* versus "Auftreten (in einem bestimmten Alter)" - incidence
agree Cilian O'Tuama : This does it nicely for me.

Have just registered the subject, so perhaps increasing occurrence would be better.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Andrew Bramhall : That would be 'eine zunehmende/steigende Anzahl' which isn't quite what the German says.

neutral Cilian O'Tuama : "increased"maybe, but "increasing"?

"Additionally, it occurs more often in childhood or adolescence"

Suggestion. Context not known. Looks like German nominalization instead of English use of verbs to me.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Cilian O'Tuama : there's no comparative in the German, but otherwise the right direction.

Age frequency/incidence

"Additionally there's an age incidence/ frequency in children and young people".
Peer comment(s):

disagree Kim Metzger : You forgot the 'increase' bit. http://dictionary.reverso.net/german-english/Häufung
15 mins
disagree Cilian O'Tuama : Firstly, if you read your sentence again, you might agree it doesn't make sense. "There's an age frequency in kids" - what is that supposed to mean? And you have overlooked the "Häufung".
1 hr
disagree Sabine Akabayov, PhD : totally agree with Kim and Cilian. You might want to look up the meaning of "Häufung"

Age-specific Incidence Rates of Oral Cancer in Scotland per 100,000 Person-years at Risk (1990-99)

Since the early 1970s, oral cancer rates have been increasing. During the period 1990-99, the incidence rate of oral cancer in Scotland increased by 34% in both males and females. The rise has been particularly evident among younger age groups, possibly due to changing patterns of alcohol consumption and tobacco use.
