Well the jury is in, studies that have been published by the American College of Chest Physicians have concluded that snoring is a perfect genetic and runs in families. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Centre in Ohio’s Dr Maninder Kalra was head of the research project that had examined 681 infants over a 12 month period while also monitoring the activities and habits of their parents.
Children who were born with at least one parent who snored were three times more likely to have the condition themselves. The study adjusted for random factors such as tobacco smoke exposure and environmental conditions, but the results were no less conclusive.
Also, it was discovered that the percentage of children who snored along with a snoring parent was almost equally proportionate when it came to allergy suffering. In other words, if the parent suffered from allergies along with snoring, then their child suffered from both at the same time as well.
Although the conclusions weren’t very surprising, they do open the door for a new generation of snoring cures that could go in tandem with allergy relief as well. The results of the study have already led to other doctors to adjust their treatments accordingly, and we are eager to see how this new knowledge effects the development of next-generation treatments.
