LCH histiocytosis usually affects children of between 1 and 15 years old and peak incidence is between age 5 and 10.  Among children under the age of 10, yearly incidence is thought to be 1 in 200,000<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000068.htm |title=MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Histiocytosis |accessdate=2007-05-10 |format= |work=}}</ref>; and in adults even more rare, in about 1 in 560,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.histiocytosis.ca/facts.html | title=Histiocytosis Association of Canada | accessdate=2007-05-16|format= |work=}}</ref> It has been reported in elderly but is vanishingly rare<ref>{{cite journal |author=Gerlach B, Stein A, Fischer R, Wozel G, Dittert D, Richter G |title=[Langerhans cell histiocytosis in the elderly] |language=German |journal=Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift für Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete |volume=49 |issue=1 |pages=23-30 |year=1998 |pmid=9522189}}</ref>. commoner in white race and boys are effected twice as often as girls.
