时差N小时 打鼾问题惹人厌(下)（在线收听）

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 cognitive and behavioral problems.

目前，还不得而知的是，打呼但是未患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合中的儿童是否在认知和行为方面问题也存在风险。

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.

但最近有调查发现很多未患有上述疾病但打呼的儿童在关于认知能力和行为的智力测验中，得分明显低于那些不打呼的儿童。

Which children who snore are at risk and which are not is not clear yet and will require further research.

打呼的儿童中，哪些是有风险遇到认知和行为方面的问题，哪些是没有的，还需要进一步的调查研究。

In the meantime, if your child snores frequently and he or she seems to experience learning and behavioral problems, you might consult a sleepspecialist to find out whether or not your child has obstructive sleep apnea.

如果你的孩子经常打呼，并且有学习和/或行为方面的问题，你可以去咨询睡眠专家，看看你的孩子是否患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征。

There are various causes of frequent snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, but the most common causes are enlarged tonsils and an enlarged adenoids.

有很多原因可以造成打呼和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停，但是最常见的是扁桃体肥大， 淋巴腺肿大。

In these cases the removal of the tonsils and adenoids can be an effective treatment.

在这种情况下，有效的治疗手段就是进行扁桃体和淋巴腺的切除。
