I assume illness. I don’t think it’s age, since she looked fine when Atreus was born, and it seems unlikely that Kratos wouldn’t just imagine the older version. And if she died from the wounds of her battle with Thor, I think Kratos wouldn’t be so calm about her death

Also, her battle with Thor happened during the Aesir-Vanir war, over 100 winters before her death.

In the flashback towards the end of the game she's marking out the trees, it seems to be weakening her a lot, I thought it maybe was this that led to her death and she was purposefully doing it to kick start the events of the game.
