OverviewAI-generated summary

Jong Ha Baek's research focuses on diabetes mellitus, particularly Type 2, and its relationship with cardiovascular diseases. He has investigated real-world prescription patterns for Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 inhibitors in Korean patients with Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, as well as treatment patterns according to clinical practice guidelines. Baek has also examined the association between income variability and incident cardiovascular disease in individuals with diabetes, using population-based cohort data. His work includes exploring the link between artificial light at night and Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, he has contributed to clinical practice guidelines for diabetes mellitus in Korea and studied the age at diagnosis and risk of diabetic nephropathy in young patients with Type 1 diabetes. Baek has a publication record of 38 papers, with an h-index of 10 and 529 total citations. He has collaborated with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Yong‐Moon Park, Michael R. Thomsen, Mario Schootman, and Clare C. Brown.
