Portuguese term (edited):
proporcionalmente maiores quanto menor a idade dos sujeitos
which are greater the younger the age of the subjects
I don't think a word for word translation of proporcionalmente is necessary.
e.g.,
For example, the relatively poor position of the United States among western industrialized nations is readily demonstrated by the use of several standard health indicators, and the disparities across the nation are greater the younger the age group that is compared [Starfield, 1993].

Portuguese term (edited):
proporcionalmente maiores quanto menor a idade dos sujeitos.
in inverse proportion to the age of those affected.
In other words, the younger the victim, the greater the effect.
This, I think, would be both an elegant and accurate translation.
An alternative would be:
an effect that is especially pronounced amoung younger victims.

I only saw Douglas’ answer after posting my own. I am going to let it stand (i.e., rather than hide it) as I think my suggested wording works better.

May cause greater physical harm the younger the subjects are
A suggestion. Not sure “proportionally” was used correctly in the original.
