Gesundheitsbedingte

Gesundheitsbedingte is a German attributive adjective meaning health-related or caused by health. It is formed from Gesundheit (health) and bedingt (conditioned or caused by) and is used to describe phenomena, factors, or effects that are linked to a person’s health status.

Usage and inflection

As an attributive adjective, gesundheitsbedingte appears before a noun and inflects according to gender, number, and case. Examples: gesundheitsbedingte Gründe (health-related reasons, plural); die gesundheitsbedingten Einschränkungen (the health-related restrictions); eine gesundheitsbedingte Verschlechterung (a health-related deterioration). The ending adapts in standard German grammar, with forms varying after definite or indefinite articles and in different cases.

Common contexts

The term occurs frequently in healthcare, insurance, human resources, and policy discussions. It is used to refer to factors or consequences influenced by health, such as illness, medical conditions, or general health status, and to distinguish them from other causes. Typical collocations include gesundheitsbedingte Fehlzeiten (absences due to health), gesundheitsbedingte Risiken (health-related risks), and gesundheitsbedingte Einschränkungen (health-related limitations).

Relation to related terms

Gesundheitsbedingte is closely related to phrases like gesundheitsschädlich (health-damaging) and gesundheitlich bedingt (health-conditioned), but the former is an attributive adjective describing a noun, while the latter can serve as a broader descriptor or as part of fixed expressions.
