                             aortic aneurysm and aortic wall disorders—see subsection 7(2).
                             aortic dissection means separation of the layers of the aortic wall due to an intimal tear.
                             being exposed to second-hand smoke means being in an enclosed space and inhaling smoke from burning tobacco products or smoke that has been exhaled by another person who is smoking.
                             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 1.0 mmol/L; or
(b)          a serum low density lipoprotein level greater than 4.0 mmol/L; or
(c)          a serum triglyceride level greater than or equal to 2.0 mmol/L; or
(d)          a total serum cholesterol level greater than 5.5 mmol/L; or
(e)          the regular administration of drug therapy to normalise blood lipid levels.
                             false aneurysm of the aorta, also known as pseudoaneurysm, means a breach in the wall of the aorta such that blood leaks through the aortic wall but is contained by the adventitia or surrounding perivascular soft tissue.
                             MET means a unit of measurement of the level of physical exertion. 1 MET = 3.5 mL of oxygen/kg of body weight per minute, 1.0 kcal/kg of body weight per hour or resting metabolic rate.
                             MRCA means the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
                             one pack-year means the amount of tobacco consumed in smoking 20 cigarettes per day for a period of 1 year, or an equivalent amount of tobacco products.
         Note 1: An equivalent amount of tobacco products is 7,300 grams of smoking tobacco by weight, either in cigarettes, pipe tobacco or cigars, or a combination of same. For pipe tobacco, cigars or combinations of multiple tobacco types, 1 gram of tobacco is considered to be equal to one cigarette.
         Note 2: Pack-years are calculated by dividing the number of cigarettes smoked per day by 20 and multiplying this number by the number of years the person has smoked. For example, smoking 10 cigarettes per day for 10 years is equal to 5 pack-years, and smoking 40 cigarettes per day for 10 years is equal to 20 pack-years.
