Question 2(i)

Simple goitre is usually seen in people living in the hilly regions. Give two reasons for the statement.

Answer

Simple goitre is usually seen in people living in the hilly regions because:

  1. Iodine is deficient in soil of hilly regions and hence in the food grown there.
  2. Iodine is also deficient in drinking water available in the hilly regions which is obtained from rivers and streams fed by melting snow.
