Dysmenorrhea is a common complaint among young adult women that can impair quality of life and academic performance. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in Indonesia reaches 64.25%. Calcium, as an essential micronutrient, is believed to play a role in women's reproductive health; however, calcium intake among young women in Indonesia remains below the Recommended Dietary Allowance. Previous studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the relationship between calcium intake and dysmenorrhea, necessitating further research, particularly among female medical students at Sriwijaya University, which has not been previously investigated. This cross-sectional study used simple random sampling among female medical students (cohorts 2022-2024) at Sriwijaya University. From 235 respondents completing the screening questionnaire, 115 were randomly selected. After lost to follow-up (15) and exclusions (2), 98 participants were interviewed using SQ-FFQ, VMSS, and ACPA-QOL questionnaires with food photograph books and Indonesian Food Composition Table 2017. Data were analyzed using Fisher Exact test with SPSS. The majority of respondents had low daily calcium intake, totaling 86 individuals (87.8%), experienced mild dysmenorrhea totaling 60 individuals (61.2%), and had good quality of life totaling 66 individuals (67.3%). The Fisher Exact test results indicated no significant relationship between daily calcium intake and dysmenorrhea severity (p=0.796) or quality of life (p=0.198). There was no significant relationship between daily calcium intake and dysmenorrhea severity or quality of life among young adult female medical students.
