Kid's Abnormal Breathing During Sleep Linked to Increased Risk for Behavioral Difficulties


A study of more than 11.000 childrean followed for over six years has found that young children with sleep disordered breathing are prone to developing behavioral difficulties such as hyperactivity and aggressiveness, as well as emotional symptomsand difficulty with peer relationships, according to researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshive University. Their study, the largest and most comprehensive of its kind, published online today in the journal pediatrics.

“This is the strongest evidence to date that snoring, mouth breathin, and apnea abnormally long pauses in breathing during sleep can have serious behavioral and social-emotional consequences for children, “said study leader Karen bonuck,ph.D., professor of family and social medicine and of obstetrics & gynecology and women’s health at Einstein. “ parents and pediatricians alike should be paying closer attention to sleep-disordered breathing in young children, perhaps as early as the first year of life”.

*My opinion :

Sleep disordered breathing could be heal if parents can prevent it by teach them for a simple exercise such as swimming. Children also need to do sport for their health. And the children used to take a nap or rest their body after playing so they will not feel so tired. And eat a healthy food, do not make them love junk food. Just teach the children to live with a healthy life.
