�A survey has set up that a predisposition to adult stertor can be established very early in life. The research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Respiratory Research describes possible childhood peril factors, including exposure to animals, other! respiratory or ear infections and ontogenesis up in a big family.
Here is the British Lung Foundation's response to this research:
"This study provides some interesting clues into why some children are more probable to develop into adult snorers and adds to the body of evidence that respiratory problems in early living can lead to the development of respiratory weather in by and by life" says Dr Keith Prowse, Chairman of the British Lung Foundation. "Snoring is more than just a pain and tin can be a sign of a respiratory condition called sleep apnoea which affects more than 110,000 people in the UK and is caused by the narrowing of the throat during sleep. We would welcome further research in this area to establish wherefore exposure to these risk factors causes some children to become snorers in later life."
