The term can be applied to a wide range of things. For instance, it can refer to unhealthy foods, such as those high in sugar, fat, or processed ingredients. It can also describe unhealthy habits or lifestyles, like a lack of exercise or excessive consumption of alcohol. In a broader sense, "epäterveistä" can also describe unhealthy environments, relationships, or mental states that negatively impact well-being.

Context is important when understanding the precise meaning of "epäterveistä." While it generally denotes a lack of healthiness, the specific aspect of unhealthiness being referred to will depend on the situation. For example, an "epäterveellisestä ruokavaliosta" would refer to an unhealthy diet, while an "epäterveellisestä ilmapiiristä" might describe an unhealthy atmosphere or environment. The adjective serves as a straightforward way to convey a negative impact on health or well-being in the Finnish language.
