<P> Hemoglobin plays a substantial role in carrying oxygen throughout the body , and when it is deficient , anemia can result , causing ' anaemic hypoxia ' if tissue perfusion is decreased . Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia . As iron is used in the synthesis of hemoglobin , less hemoglobin will be synthesised when there is less iron , due to insufficient intake , or poor absorption . </P>
