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

"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.

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".

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.
