Neurocognitive abilities were measured in 14 morbidly obese children, five of whom had obstructive sleep apnea as determined by polysomnography. As in adults, children with obstructive sleep apnea had deficits in learning, memory, and vocabulary. Moreover, apneic/hypopneic events were inversely related to memory and learning performance among the entire sample.
对14名病态肥胖儿童的神经认知能力进行了测量,其中5名儿童经多导睡眠图测定患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停。与成年人一样,患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的儿童在学习、记忆和词汇方面存在缺陷。此外,在整个样本中,呼吸暂停/低通气事件与记忆和学习表现呈负相关。
