The Association Between Sleep Disordered Breathing Academic Grades and Cognitive and Behavioral Functioning Among Overweight Subjects During Middle to Late Childhood

摘要

Study Objectives:(1) to determine the associations of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) with behavioral functioning, cognitive test scores, and school grades during middle- to late-childhood, an under-researched developmental period in the SDB literature, and (2) to clarify whether associations between SDB and school grades are mediated by deficits in cognitive or behavioral functioning.
