It may depend on where you live, but it may be illegal for an employer to ask about anything medical in an interview. I have a two plus year gap and if I get asked about it, I just say, "illness." They can't ask any follow up questions.
I have occasionally expounded on it, saying, "I'm fully recovered now." Just to reassure them that I don't expect to miss work due to illness in the future.
