The proposed intervention study addresses the development and validation of nutritional concepts for patients with hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides > 1.5 mmol/l) and participants with impaired glucose tolerance (glucose > 5.6 ≤ 7 mmol/l).~The randomized, controlled study will be conducted in a parallel design with four arms. In total, 120 participants (males, females; age: 30 - 80 years) will be randomized to one of the four groups: hypertriglyceridemia concept (group A), hypertriglyceridemia control (group B), prediabetes concept (group C), and prediabetes control (group D).~The study participants in group A and C receive defined personal nutritional counselling every two weeks and they are provided with daily menu plans (isocaloric) with optimized nutrient profiles and chosen study products (e.g., fish or plant oil, nuts) over the study period of ten weeks. Participants in the control groups B and D are not provided with defined menu plans or study products.~Blood samples will be taken at the beginning, regularly every two weeks of the ten-weeks intervention period as well as after the ten-weeks follow-up. Primary endpoints are triglycerides (group A, B), and fasting glucose (group C, D).~The study design enables the comparison of the effectiveness of the developed nutritional concepts, which were adapted to the requirements of the target groups.
