Goitre is caused due to iron deficiency. We get it mostly from salts.. In the coastal areas, we have more amount of salt.. so the food produced there is rich in salt content.. where as the hilly areas much far away from sea coast, enough salt content is not present causing the deficiency of iodine inturn causing goitre
