【英语时差8,16】鼾声与认知2

（单词翻译）

Until now it has not been known whether children who snore, but who do not have obstructive sleep apnea, are at risk, too, for these cognitive¹ and behavioral problems. However, recent research shows that many children without this particular condition, but who nonetheless snore, do test significantly lower than do non-snorers in these same areas of cognition and behavior. Which children who snore are at risk and which are not is not clear yet and will require further research. In the meantime, if your child snores frequently and he or she seems to experience learning and/or behavioral problems, you might consult a sleepspecialist to find out whether or not your child has obstructive sleep apnea. There are various causes of frequent snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, but the most common causes are enlarged tonsils and an enlarged adenoids. In these cases the removal of the tonsils and adenoids can be an effective treatment.
