Correct Answer: 2.9 %


Solution : The Correct Option is 2.9 %

India is now iodine replete after making the transition from iodine deficit. Iodine supplementation is thought to increase the risk of hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroid dysfunction by increasing the thyroid gland's susceptibility to immune system harm. In the National Family Health Survey IV (NFHS IV, 2015–2016), the prevalence of self-reported goitre or thyroid condition was 2.2%; in the National Family Health Survey-V (2019–2021), it was 2.9%.According to the NFHS IV (2015–2016), goitre or thyroid disorders were self-reported to affect people between the ages of 15 and 49 in around 2% of females and less than 1% of males. Furthermore, in women, the reported incidence rose with age (15–19 years: 0.7%; 20–34 years: 1.8%; 35–49 years: 3.4%).
