Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between evening-chronotype children, sleep issues, and socioemotional problems during preschool and later school age, emphasizing that evening-chronotype children experience more socioemotional challenges and sleep difficulties.
- - Using data from 399 preschoolers, researchers looked at how sleep problems and duration influenced the relationship between chronotype and socioemotional issues, revealing that sleep problems, not duration, played a key mediating role as the children grew older.
- - The findings suggest that addressing sleep problems early on can potentially mitigate socioemotional issues in school-aged children, particularly those with an evening chronotype.
Study Objectives: Optimal cutoff values of oximetry indices that differentiate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from primary snoring (PS) is not well established. Our study aimed to assess the utility of overnight oximetry indices in differentiating PS from OSA and assessing OSA severity, compared to polysomnography (PSG), in children with suspected OSA.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of children (1-18 years) with snoring who underwent PSG.
Introduction: Early childhood is a critical period for growth and development. Adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours during this period forms the foundation for future well-being and offers the best protection against non-communicable diseases. Singapore studies have shown that many young children are not achieving the recommendations on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep.

However, it remains unclear whether other aspects of maternal or infant diet play roles in the development of childhood food allergy.
Objectives: We examined the relationship between maternal pregnancy and infant dietary patterns and the development of food allergies until age 8 y.
