Association between nocturnal enuresis and snoringin the community-dwelling 21,380 children
DISCUSSION The study indicated that OSA and NE were associated, leading to their possible common pathogeneses. There were a few limitations; this was based on cross-sectional study, and thus did not elucidate the causal relations. In addition, some of the diagnoses might be clinically inaccurate as the study was to the parents or care-takers. However, only a restricted number of studies based on communities was available regarding this topic, while our study enrolled more than 21,000 children, with such a high response rate.
