TASK: Your task is to answer biomedical questions using the given abstract. Only output yes, no, or maybe as answer.
INPUT: ['Increased activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis may underlie the metabolic syndrome, but whether circulating cortisol levels predict cardiovascular end points is less clear. People with type 2 diabetes are at increased cardiovascular disease risk and thus are suitable to study associations of plasma cortisol with cardiovascular risk.', 'We aimed to assess whether altered HPA axis activity was associated with features of the metabolic syndrome and ischemic heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes.', 'We conducted a cross-sectional cohort study in the general community, including 919 men and women aged 67.9 (4.2) yr with type 2 diabetes (the Edinburgh Type 2 Diabetes Study).', 'We measured fasting morning plasma cortisol.', 'Associations between cortisol levels, features of the metabolic syndrome, obesity, and ischemic heart disease were determined.', 'Elevated plasma cortisol levels were associated with raised fasting glucose and total cholesterol levels (P < 0.001). These findings remained significant after adjustment for potential confounding factors (P < 0.001). Elevated cortisol levels were associated with prevalent ischemic heart disease (>800 vs. <600 nmol/liter; odds ratio, 1.58; P = 0.02). This association remained significant after adjustment for duration and control of diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors (P = 0.03).'] Is elevated fasting plasma cortisol associated with ischemic heart disease and its risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes : the Edinburgh type 2 diabetes study?
