Objective: to evaluate sleep quality and associated factors in non-institutionalized elderly people in Rio Verde, Goiás. Method: epidemiological, cross-sectional, population-based study conducted with elderly participants of the Third Age Project, carried out by the University of Rio Verde, between April and May 2019. Data collection was carried out with the application of three instruments, a questionnaire with sociodemographic data, questionnaire of Pittsburgh sleep quality and the international physical activity questionnaire. For data analysis, the chi-square test was used. Results: 73 elderly were analyzed, among which 67.1% had poor sleep quality indices. Being female, single or widowed, having a low level of education, not being retired and not using medications to sleep had a significantly relevant association with poor sleep quality (p<0.05). Conclusion: most of the elderly had poor sleep quality. This indicates the need to create health promotion programs and measures for the elderly that include sleep routines and rituals, alternative relaxation techniques, regular physical activity, improvements in environmental conditions and aspects of sleep hygiene.
