Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are variations in glomerular filtration rate associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in healthy postmenopausal women?
Answer: A mild decrease in renal function within normal limits of GFR is independently associated with the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis in a sample of apparently healthy young postmenopausal women. Assessment of GFR using creatinine (vs cystatin C) levels is a more sensitive marker of its association with IMT and atherosclerotic plaques in this postmenopausal population.
Output (English): yes
