Descriptive cross-sectional study assesses low calcium intake and barriers in pre-adolescent girls, highlighting needs for nutritional interventions.

Mean calcium intake in pre-adolescent girls was found to be significantly below recommended levels.
Recognized barriers included low awareness and availability of calcium-rich foods within their environment.
The study identified a preference for specific calcium-fortified foods, particularly milk and biscuits.
Findings suggest urgent need for targeted nutritional interventions to improve calcium intake among this population.
