In this instrument:
                             Alzheimer disease—see subsection 7(2).
                                     atypical presentations of Alzheimer disease means where memory and learning impairments are not predominant (nonamnestic presentations).  There are several different variants of this nonamnestic presentation including visuospatial, logopenic aphasic, visuoperceptive impairments and executive dysfunction.
                                     being obese means having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater.
Note: BMI is also defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                     BMI means W/H2 where:
W is the person's weight in kilograms; and
H is the person's height in metres.
                                     cumulative dose means the total dose of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) received by the body.  The unit of cumulative dose is the microTesla-year.  The cumulative dose is calculated from the sum of exposures to electromagnetic field flux density in microTesla multiplied by the duration of the exposure in years, excluding background exposure.
Note: extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) is also defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                     DSM-5 means the American Psychiatric Association: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. Arlington, VA, American Psychiatric Association, 2013.
                                     dyslipidaemia generally means evidence of a persistently abnormal lipid profile after the accurate evaluation of serum lipids following a 12 hour overnight fast, and estimated on a minimum of two occasions as:
(a)          a total cholesterol level greater than or equal to 5.5 millimoles per litre (mmol/L);
(b)          a triglyceride level greater than or equal to 2.0 mmol/L; or
(c)          a high density lipoprotein cholesterol level less than 1.0 mmol/L.
                                     extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) means electromagnetic fields generated at a frequency of 3-3000 hertz (Hz), and excludes static electromagnetic fields (for example, MRI scans) and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (for example, radar).
        Note: Examples of circumstances that might lead to exposure to ELF-EMF include, but are not limited to, being in close proximity to electric power generators, electric motors, transformers, inductors, and power transmission and distribution lines.
                                     hyperhomocysteinaemia means a condition characterised by an excess of homocysteine in the blood.
                                     major neurocognitive disorder means:
(a)          evidence of significant cognitive decline from a previous level of performance in one or more cognitive domains (complex attention, executive function, learning and memory, language, perceptual-motor, or social cognition) based on:
(i)            concern of the individual, a knowledgeable informant, or the clinician that there has been a significant decline in cognitive function; and
(ii)         a substantial impairment in cognitive performance, documented by standardised neuropsychological testing or another qualified clinical assessment; and
(b)          the cognitive deficits interfere with independence in everyday activities (that is, at a minimum, requiring assistance with complex instrumental activities of daily living such as paying bills or managing medications).
                                     MET means a unit of measurement of the level of physical exertion. 1 MET =
