Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Janiel L Pimentel"
- Janiel L Pimentel's research primarily focuses on the relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes in Latino youth, particularly concerning the implications of organ fat on glycemic control.
- In a study published in May 2022, Pimentel analyzed various adiposity measures, including total, visceral, and organ fat, and their associations with glycemia in Latino adolescents at risk for type 2 diabetes.
- The findings suggest that elevated levels of abdominal and organ fat may independently influence glycemic levels, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions for obesity prevention in this demographic.
