In German, the term is declined like other adjectives and adapts to gender, number, and article.

The stem krankheitsfrei- remains the same, while the endings follow the standard adjective declension pattern. The form krankheitsfreies also appears in phrases using neuter nouns in the indefinite sense, such as ein krankheitsfreies Ergebnis, depending on the syntax.

Semantic contexts: in medical literature, krankheitsfrei describes remission or the absence of detectable disease after treatment. A common clinical endpoint is das krankheitsfreie Überleben, often translated as disease-free survival. In everyday language, the term can describe a person who currently has no diagnosed disease or a lifestyle aimed at avoiding illness, as in ein krankheitsfreies Leben. It is important to distinguish between current disease absence and long-term health vulnerability, since disease status can change over time.

Related terms include gesund (healthy) and frei von Krankheiten (free of illnesses). The noun Krankheitsfreiheit emphasizes the concept of being without disease as a measurable or aspirational state. Overall, krankheitsfreies is a functional, descriptive expression used across medical, scientific, and general health discourse.
