Sleep duration is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular outcomes: A pilot study in a sample of community dwelling adults in Ghana

Associations between sleep duration and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors have been demonstrated in past studies. However, previous studies have not investigated these relationships using objective sleep measures in sub-Saharan Africa. Our objective was to investigate the association between sleep duration and cardiovascular risk factors in a sample of community-dwelling Ghanaian adults.
