<![CDATA[The elderly are a group vulnerable to physiological and cognitive functional changes associated with aging. Sleep quality disturbances and cognitive decline are common issues among the elderly that can impact their quality of life and independence in performing daily activities. Honey consumption is common in the community, and it contains various bioactive compounds that may support health. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the habit of consuming local pure honey and the sleep quality and cognitive function of the elderly in the working area of the Banggae 1 Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in Majene Regency. An observational analytic method with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study population consisted of 348 elderly individuals, with a sample of 183 respondents determined using C. Parel's formula. Data were collected using a honey consumption habit questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality, and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to assess cognitive function. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed no significant relationship between the habit of consuming local pure honey and either sleep quality (p = 0.903) or cognitive function (p = 0.921) among the elderly. It is concluded that the habit of consuming local pure honey is not significantly associated with the sleep quality and cognitive function of the elderly in the working area of the Banggae 1 Community Health Center, Majene Regency.]]>
