Have just registered the subject, so perhaps increasing occurrence would be better.

neutral  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"


Explanation:
Suggestion. Context not known. Looks like German nominalization instead of English use of verbs to me.

disagree  Kim Metzger: You forgot the 'increase' bit. http://dictionary.reverso.net/german-english/Häufung

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"

agree  Kim Metzger: Flabbergasted.

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

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.
