Sleep-disordered breathing linked to negative neurocognitive function in children

Researchers found that children with higher apnea-hypopnea index caused by sleep-disordered breathing had more impaired neurocognitive function during engagement and problem solving compared with children who have lower AHIs. The findings in the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine were based on polysomnography data involving 1,010 snoring & non-snoring children, ages 5 to 7.   PhysiciansBriefing.com/HealthDay News   http://www.physiciansbriefing.com/Article.asp?AID=708869
