1               Definitions
  In this instrument:
active migraine means having at least one migraine headache per year.
acute hypotensive episode means a sudden drop in blood pressure of a sufficient degree to cause cerebral hypoperfusion.
anticoagulant therapy means therapeutic administration of a pharmacological agent which suppresses, delays or attenuates blood coagulation, including heparin, warfarin, dicumarol, or direct oral anticoagulants (such as dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban), but excludes antiplatelet therapy.
being obese means having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater.
Note: BMI is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
being underweight means having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.5 or less;
Note: BMI is defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.
BMI means W/H2 where:
(a) W is the person's weight in kilograms; and
(b) H is the person's height in metres.
brain ischaemia means a reduction or interruption of blood supply to an area of the cerebrum, diencephalon, brain stem or cerebellum, leading to dysfunction of the brain tissue in that area.
cerebrovascular accident (stroke)—see subsection 7(2).
chronically polluted air means air with average annual concentrations of
         (a)          particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5    micrometres (PM2.5) exceeding 30 micrograms per metre cubed; or
         (b)          particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 micrometres (PM10) exceeding 150 micrograms per metre cubed.
chronic kidney disease means:
(a) having a glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for at least 3 months;
(b)          having albuminuria with an albumin to creatinine ratio of at least 3 milligrams/millimole for at least 3 months;
(c)          having kidney damage, as evidenced by renal biopsy, imaging studies, urinary sediment abnormalities or other markers of abnormal renal function; or
(d)          having had a kidney transplant.
clinically significant means sufficient to warrant ongoing management which may involve regular visits (for example, at least monthly) to a psychiatrist, counsellor or general practitioner.
Note: To warrant ongoing management does not require that any actual management was received or given for the condition.
                                     cumulative equivalent dose means the total dose of ionising radiation received by the particular organ or tissue. The formula used to calculate the cumulative equivalent dose allows doses from multiple types of ionising radiation to be combined, by accounting for their differing biological effect. The unit of equivalent dose is the sievert. For the purposes of this Statement of Principles, the calculation of cumulative equivalent dose excludes doses received from normal background radiation, but includes therapeutic radiation, diagnostic radiation, cosmic radiation at high altitude, radiation from occupation-related sources and radiation from nuclear explosions or accidents.
dyslipidaemia means persistently abnormal blood lipid levels, diagnosed by a medical practitioner and evidenced by:
(a)          a serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol level less than
