Abstract
Using actigraphy to measure sleep duration among a population of community-dwelling adults in sub-Saharan Africa is feasible. We found a positive association between sleep and CVD risk. No association was found between sleep duration and prevalent CVD or metabolic syndrome. The implications and new directions relating to these findings are stated.
