Reuters reports that an Austalian study found that, among five-year-olds, risk factors for snoring were very similar to those for allergic disorders. Such risk factors include cigarette smoke in the first year of life, asthma, and eczema.

In adults, snoring is associated with obesity, but in children, snoring is tied to allergies. Nearly 60 percent of children who had experienced allergic rhinitis snored at least once a week.

If your young child is already snoring, it could be a sign of allergies.
