It's more difficult to keep those iron levels up, yes. Meat and dairy can be great sources of iron, so many people who switch to being vegan/vegetarian can have difficulty adjusting their diets to fill their iron-void.
On the flip side, vegans and vegetarians are more likely to pay attention to what they're eating and therefore more likely to be aware of the amount of iron they consume.

How are vegans considered by non vegans?
Some non-vegans consider vegans to be too restricted with food, although others understand that this is a misconception - a vegan diet has much more variety of foods.Some vegetarians consider vegans "Even more dedicated and idealistic than us vegetarians!! The emphasis on animal rights will improve everyone's karma!!"About half of American voters view vegetarians favorably, and less than a quarter view them unfavorably. Vegans are viewed less positively, but still have significantly more than a third of American voters seeing them favorably. Generally, women, Democrats, and younger respondents have a more positive opinion of vegetarians and vegans. These are among the results of a poll of 500 registered American voters conducted by Public Policy Polling (PPP), a North Carolina-based firm, from February 21st to 24th, 2013

Is being vegan the same as being vegetarian?
Yes, a true vegan is not only a vegetarian, but also does not use any other animal products, such as leathers and furs. This, of course, means there are probably many people who think they are vegans, but do not realize they are using animal products in everyday life, such as hand soap which is often made from stearates (fatty acids derived from animal fats), and gelatin obtained again from animal renderings. The term is, therefore, more of a belief or mindset, than a reality.
Why do people become lacto-ovo vegetarian?
Are you asking why people change from being non-vegetarians to lacto-ove-vegetarians? Probably because they care about animal cruelty and want to reduce it. May be they are in their path to become Vegans too. Some of them do it for health reasons too, seeing that vegetarian diet is more beneficial.

Do vegetarians eat tuna?
No. * Most vegetarians do not eat "meat," which, by definition, is the flesh of another creature (i.e., meat does not refer solely to cows). Thus, virtually any seafood (e.g., fish, mollusks, etc.) that could reasonably be considered as having flesh would not be eaten by "true" vegetarians.However, as with anything else, individuals have the right to choose to eat whatever they wish, and, as such, there are some flesh-eaters who consider themselves "vegetarians," though others might not. Refer to the link, below, for more information.* Vegetarians don't eat any fish.
