Highlights
➡ In epidemiological studies, accelerometers are the primary tool for quantifying sleep duration.
➡ In assessing sleep quality subjectively, epidemiological studies often utilize the PSQI questionnaire.
➡ Sleep duration and inflammatory markers show no association.
➡ The evidence suggests a minor correlation between poor sleep quality and elevated C-reactive protein.
➡ The association between sleep parameters and inflammatory biomarkers in lower-middle-income countries remains unexplored.
