Washington [US], April 17 (ANI): The findings of a large study on children discovered evidence that behavioural problems in kids who snore might be related to changes in the structure of their brain's frontal lobe.
The research, published in Nature Communications, was supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and nine other Institutes, Centers, and Offices of the National Institutes of Health. The findings support the early evaluation of children with habitual snoring.
Large, population-based studies have established a clear link between snoring and behavioural problems, such as inattention or hyperactivity, but the exact nature of this relationship is not fully understood. While a few small studies have reported a correlation between sleep apnea -- when pauses in breathing are prolonged -- and certain brain changes, little is known about whether these changes contribute to the behaviours seen in some children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (oSDB), a group of conditions commonly associated with snoring that are characterized by resistance to breathing during sleep.
