Seems to be a connection.
People living in areas with higher air pollution (dense urban areas) and at high altitude (Colorado?) would also have higher iron levels.

Elevation actually changes oxygen affinity of hemoglobin through increases in 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate - these changes are independent of iron stores/levels.
