Answer:
The incidence of goitre among the people living in the Himalayan region was quite high. ... A lot of snow is experienced in Himalayas which leads to the leaching of iodine from the soil. The crops grown in a soil which is iodine deficient will lead to people consuming food with low dietary intake of iodine.
hope it helps
