Answer:

GOITRE

Iodine deficiency is a lack of the trace element iodine, an essential nutrient in the diet. It may result in a goiter, sometimes as an endemic goiter as well as cretinism due to untreated congenital hypothyroidism, which results in developmental delays and other health problems. Iodine deficiency is an important public health issue as it is a preventable cause of intellectual disability.

Following is a list of potential risk factors that may lead to iodine deficiency:

Low dietary iodine

Selenium deficiency

Pregnancy

Exposure to radiation

Increased intake/plasma levels of goitrogens, such as calcium

Sex (higher occurrence in women)

Smoking tobacco

Alcohol (reduced prevalence in users)

Oral contraceptives (reduced prevalence in users)

Perchlorates

Thiocyanates.
