Low calcium intake is a widespread global health problem that impacts maternal health, neonatal survival, and the development of chronic health problems such as osteoporosis. Despite its important health implications, fragmented data on calcium intakes and related health outcomes have hindered more strategic responses. We aimed to develop a centralized, interactive platform that visualizes calcium intakes, associated health outcomes, and policies across countries. The Global Calcium Dashboard integrates datasets that include calcium intake estimates, as well as calcium supplementation guidelines, food-based recommendations, and fortification legislation.
